| civil engineering project management: Project Management in Construction Anthony Walker, 2002-04-22 The management of construction projects continues to be problematic as the complexity of projects themselves and the environments in which they are constructed increasingly challenge project organisations to deliver effective projects within cost and time constraints. Appropriately structured organisations are essential for the delivery of effective projects, the design of which requires an in-depth knowledge of the organisation theory applied to the definition, design and construction of projects. This book adopts an essentially systems approach to organisation analysis and design from the initial concept of the project. It enriches this approach by incorporating both other relevant organisation theory and transaction cost economics. It is concerned particularly with the integration of the contributors to the process and the way in which decisions are made. The fourth edition extends considerably the application of transaction cost economics to project management to explain how construction project organisations are formed. It incorporates the partnering phenomenon which is also explained using transaction cost economics. Organisation culture is included as a complement to other organisation theory and in addition contributes to the explanation of partnering. The book has been updated generally in terms of both organisation theory and advances in the project management field itself and the references have been considerably expanded. |

| civil engineering project management: Civil Engineering: Supervision and Management A.C. Twort, J.G. Rees, 2012-12-06 This book covers methods adopted for undertaking the design and construction of civil engineering projects. The options for separate design and construction are compared with design and build projects, construction management, and man agement contracting. The salient differences are shown between the various con ditions of contract used. The roles of the engineer, employer's project manager or his representative under different forms of contract are compared. Requirements for the production of contract documents, specifications, tendering procedures and choice of contractor are set out. The engineer's powers and the duties of his resident engineer on the site of con struction are considered in detail. Records, filing systems, programme and progress charts used by the resident engineer are illustrated, and advice is given on the handling of safety problems and difficult situations on site. Problems of measurement and billing of quantities according to the civil engi neering standard method are described. Correct procedures for setting rates for varied work, payment for method-related items, and handling claims for unfore seen conditions under ICE Clause 12 are given. Difficulties with delay claims and situations where the contractor submits quotations before undertaking varied work are discussed. The approach is essentially practical throughout and covers many actual prob lems met on site, including measures that are advisable in relation to site surveys and investigations, construction of earthworks and pipelines, and the production and placing of concrete. |

| civil engineering project management: Network Scheduling Techniques for Construction Project Management M. Hajdu, 2013-03-09 Industrial, financial, commercial or any kinds of project have at least one common feature: the better organized they are, the higher the profit or the lower the cost. Project management is the principle of planning different projects and keeping them on track within time, cost and resource constraints. The need for effective project management is ever-increasing. The complexity of the environment we live in requires more sophisticated methods than it did just a couple of decades ago. Project managers might face insurmountable obstacles in their work if they do not adapt themselves to the changing circumstances. On the other hand, better knowledge of project management can result in better plans, schedules and, last but not least, more contracts and more profit. This knowledge can help individuals and firms to stay alive in this competitive market and, in the global sense, utilize the finite resources of our planet in a more efficient way. |
