No one person has more control over building operations than the superintendent.
Whether your company builds two custom homes a year or a thousand production
homes, the superintendent's effective management greatly impacts your bottom line.
Basic Construction Management: The Superintendent's Job provides information that
superintendents can use to sharpen their skills in maintaining budgets, preparing and
meeting schedules, and insuring quality control.
This completely revised and updated version of the popular Basic Construction Management places special focus on developing and managing systems to address a number of key areas:
- Project Start-Up
- Quality Control and Inspection
- Cost Control
- Scheduling
- Construction Team Building
- Trade Contractor Management
- Working with the Homeowner
- Safety Management
Basic Construction Management also emphasizes how to computerize your scheduling
and reporting systems. New Managers can use this essential reference as a
comprehensive training tool, while more experienced superintendents can brush up on
the latest techniques and technologies.
Includes a companion Website with quality checklists and tools to help you manage your construction projects.
