| Summary |
Project Management for Building Designers and Owners discusses streamlining the complexity and costs of current building design and construction; integrating the often-fragmented nature of the team in designing and constructing buildings; assessing the reengineering trend of reducing in-house facilities and staff for planning, coordinating, and managing a project; outsourcing responsibilities to traditional engineering, architectural, and facilities firms as well as program and project management firms; comparing traditional design firms and specialty firms; and communicating effectively within this fragmented, specialized, and complex arena. This edition comprehensively outlines the fundamental means to effectively manage and control a project's scope, schedule, and budget |
