Summary "A hands-on guide to using critical path management for construction projects. This comprehensive resource details how to apply critical path management (CPM) to every day construction situations. The book first describes the development of CPM and its practical use in the construction industry and then goes on to cover the technique in detail so that you can apply it to practical construction situations. Central to the book is the John Doe Case Study, which describes basic CPM network techniques and illustrates functions such as updating, cost control, resource planning, and delay evaluation. CPM in Construction Management, Seventh Edition features new chapters on RDM relationship code features and review of alternate methods of delay analysis."
