Overview

Quality construction management involves the coordination of many resources, and this step-by-step introduction to construction scheduling and project control techniques ties together the start-to-finish aspects of a modern construction project. Updated to Release 3.0, Scheduling with SureTrak, 2nd Edition utilizes the latest screen captures from the premier construction scheduling software on the market as visuals to illustrate all facets of project control. Its distinctive coverage of construction scheduling includes the traditional theory associated with planning, scheduling, and controlling construction projects, along with the actual use of Primavera's SureTrak software into these applications. This book not only exposes learners to on-screen images but also shows them how to manipulate hard copy prints for exceptional communication and demonstration results.
