PRODUCTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
From planning/design to post-construction, this valuable guide provides the construction industry the key to understanding the importance of properly tracking and measuring productivity, resulting in increased efficiency and profitability for contractors, subcontractors, owners, civil and construction engineers, and attorneys.
Productivity in Construction Projects anticipates and answers the questions of owners, contractors, sub-contractors, and construction professionals to avoid cost overruns in a specific area of work, or when activities are taking more resources to perform than planned. Packed with real-world case studies, Productivity in Construction Projects' thirteen chapters move beyond the symptoms and provide a remedy.
This book provides a comprehensive look at how to:
- Complete more projects on time and budget, and earn greater profits and future business.
- Track and analyze productivity on construction projects, and quantify additional costs resulting from productivity losses.
- Select the right experts and attorneys should litigation or arbitration occur, and employ credible and reliable methods of analysis.
- Solve problems on the project instead of incurring lengthy and costly litigation or arbitration.
Ted Trauner, Chris Kay, and Brian Furniss have worked on thousands of construction projects from concept and the pre-bid phase to the design, construction, and litigation phases. They have first-hand knowledge of how construction productivity can either “make or break” a project and company. As seen in their biographies inside the book, Ted Trauner is a recognized expert in the areas of construction management and disputes, and has authored seven books on construction management topics. Chris Kay was a trial lawyer for 23 years before serving as General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Executive Officer, and advisor for multiple large corporations. Like Ted, Brian Furniss is a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple states, an author of books and other construction industry publications, and is a recognized expert in the construction management field. The three authors combine their expertise to offer lessons learned from prior project challenges, and guidance for the construction industry’s future.
