Construction Site Planning and Logistical Operations, livre ebook

Organizing and administering a construction site so that the right resources get to the right place in a timely fashion demands strong leadership and a well-defined, disciplined process. Good logistical operations enable profitability, and this book is the essential, muddy boots guide to such management. Written by experienced educator–practitioners, Construction Site Planning and Logistical Operations is a popular guide to the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed by project superintendents, especially, but useful to all constructors. This second edition is updated to include new technologies, resources, and details of operational planning. Leadership imperatives and management techniques remain integrated throughout. The book follows site-related activities from bidding concerns to project closeout. The authors also drill into operational issues such as temporary soils and drainage structures, common equipment, and materials procedures. Primarily geared for professionals of a domestic, midsized, commercial building construction project, the book also includes reference to public and international work, where techniques, practices, and decision making can be substantially different.
