5An overview ith the details  Nov 10, 2005 By William D. Tompkins
This book breaks it all down. Time management, budgeting, dealing with staff and technical issues. For those in the field already, its a refresher and a confirmation of what you're doing. For those new to the field, it can serve as an operations manual for guidance. Appendix B that describes the job description is invaluable.

5The Best Construction Management Book I have ever read  Jan 17, 2008 By Marino Martinez "marinom"
Yes, it's the better Construction Project Management Book I have ever read, and I can say that I've read some ones. As the autor states in the second paragraph of the Preface, the book focus on the mental side of CM rather than the technological side. It is, what you will get from the book is the behavioral aspects of CM, the knowledege you need to better manage your construction projects.
One very good thing I found in the book was the indication of what kind of bibliography, and the right titles, the CM might have in his (her) library. By the way, I could read some books recommended by Ritz, and I can say that the autor have the very reason recommending those tittles.
I recommended the book to my friends, and recommend it to all of you, because it is one that devote to the every day tasks of the CM, one book that let you to research the way you have to apply the principles stated by the autor. He just direct the way the reader have to behave to be a successful CM. Definitively this book is a must in a CM's personal library. Read It.

5Fabulous!!!  Nov 23, 2010 By Olly Cherbox
This book was fabulous! My partner and I read this book to prepare for a huge upcoming rehab project involving a ten story building and numerous contractors. We were terrified of cost overruns and this book helped allay those fears by teaching us failsafe procedures for monitoring and assessing our construction partners.
