Finally, an extensive appendix rounds out the book with references to additional resources for the reader.Perfect for upper-level undergraduate students in construction management and construction engineering programs, A Contractor’s Guide to Planning, Scheduling, and Control is also an irreplaceable reference for general contractors and construction project ­management professionals.
