Preview CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER'S POCKET BOOK
Construction Project Manager’s Pocket Book The second edition of the Construction Project Manager’s Pocket Book maintains its coverage of a broad range of project management skills, from technical expertise to leadership, negotiation, team building and communication. However, this new edition has been updated to include: • revisions to the CDM regulations, • changes to the standard forms of contract and other documentation used by the project manager, • the impact of BIM and emerging technologies, • implications of Brexit on EU public procurement, • other new procurement trends, and • ethics and the project manager. Construction project management activities are tackled in the order they occur on real projects, with reference made to the RIBA Plan of Work throughout. This is the ideal concise reference which no project manager, construction manager, architect or quantity surveyor should be without. Duncan Cartlidge, FRICS, is a chartered surveyor with extensive experience in the delivery and management of built assets, as well as providing education and training to a wide range of built environment professionals and contractors. He is the author of several best-s elling books, including the Quantity Surveyor’s Pocket Book, 3rd edition and Estimator’s Pocket Book, 2nd edition, published by Routledge.

During the past thirty years or so, project management has been increasingly in demand by construction clients and this is perhaps due to a number of reasons, including the reluctance of architects to take on the role of project manager and the increasing complexity of building and commissioning new and refurbished buildings. Finding a definition of construction project management is complicated by the use of a variety of similar terms with individuals and / or organisations adopting the title project manager without fully appreciating the nature or the scope of the discipline. Since the first edition of this pocket book, Building Information Modelling has become mandatory for most public sector projects and there have been major changes to health and safety regulations. In addition, digital construction has arrived and it is anticipated that it will make the role of the project manager more effective. It is hoped that this pocket book will help to define the role of the construc- tion project manager as well as introducing not only the generic skills required by project managers, but also the specific skills required by the construction project manager.
