Insights into the science of engineering project management from design to implementation

The book discusses engineering and construction project management at all its critical stages, starting from the design phase, through the project preparation and bidding phase, and up to the end of implementation. It also addresses the risks, obstacles, solutions, requirements, and action plans involved. Moving beyond the routine approach to explaining project management, which typically focuses on the theoretical aspect of analyzing and presenting information, the book is enriched by presenting a coherent management methodology for all phases, supported by practical calculations and illustrative examples to achieve the best possible results when the project is implemented on the ground. The book also discusses: the causes of engineering project failures; errors by the project owner; errors by the project contractor; errors by the project consultant; finding the project's critical path; variation orders; cost management and price analysis; how to create a timeline on paper; how to create a timeline using planning software; risk management in engineering projects; and total quality management applications.
