Managing the Construction Process: Estimating, Scheduling, and Project Control: Gould, Frederick E.: 9780133523379: Book: Technology: eCampus.com

With the growth of the construction management profession, and the resulting expansion of construction management courses both in the major and as electives in many architectural and engineering school curriculums, a need has arisen to either concentrate on a single function--scheduling, estimating, or project control--or cover the profession in an overview of project management.
