The Civil Engineer’s Guide to Effective Project Management A project’s success requires more than technical calculations and engineered designs. As this book details, effective management in civil engineering involves aligning operations with the broader context of stakeholder objectives. Management Essentials for Civil Engineers is a comprehensive resource designed to help civil engineers enhance their project management and business development skills. This text integrates engineering acumen with management principles, offering insights on business, communication, ethics, and risk analysis. Topics included in this book: Project Management Principles specifically tailored for civil engineers with content relevant to infrastructure and real estate projects. Leadership and Power Dynamics to understand and leverage various forms of power that support team objectives. Risk Management concepts to develop skills in anticipating, assessing, and responding effectively to project threats and opportunities. Contract Law and Liability covering the complexities of contractual frameworks, project delivery methods, and broader legal aspects. Effective Communication strategies to enhance interactions with diverse clients, project team members, and external stakeholders. Value Creation principles that consider cost management while ensuring meaningful value in the project deliverables. Systems Perspective viewing projects as integral components of broader operational frameworks, including program and portfolio management. Supplementing the content of each chapter is a narrative that threads through the core topics of this book, providing tangible context to theoretical constructs. This narrative approach facilitates the application of project management principles. Authored by three professionals with backgrounds in engineering, law, and business, this book combines insightful experiences with practical recommendations. The interdisciplinary approach underscores the book’s comprehensive nature, providing core frameworks directly applicable to real-world projects.

For more than thirty years, Construction Project Management by Clough and Sears has been considered the preeminent guide to the Critical Path Method (CPM) of project scheduling. It combines a solid foundation in the principles and fundamentals of CPM with particular emphasis on project planning, demonstrated through an example project. This Fifth Edition features a range of improvements. New pedagogical devices improve absorption of the material. Updated labor, material, and equipment pricing is incorporated into the text. Coverage is enhanced by discussions of contemporary planning and management methods such as Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and the Earned Value Management System (EVMS). A highway bridge with a complete cost estimate, including SI units, illustrates each of the principles of project management. Using this basic information and the case studies in the appendix, readers are given project management problems and hands-on project management experience. The Fifth Edition features include: Complete coverage of planning and scheduling principles that apply to every type of construction project Expanded coverage of production planning Large foldout illustrations conveniently integrated throughout the book Thorough and up to date, Construction Project Management, Fifth Edition is a superb text for students and an indispensable on-the-job reference for builders, architects, civil engineers, and other construction professionals.
