The remaining chapters have been edited to incorporate new accepted practices or building code influences. Further, there is continued emphasis to introduce the reader to the concept of sustainable building, also known as "green building." Some illustrations have been updated throughout the text to reflect changes in construction equipment and to illustrate current construction practices. Questions at the end review the highlights of each chapter. It is a continued wish that students involved in all disciplines related to the construction process will find this text beneficial.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The construction industry is a unique collection of planners, design professionals, manufacturing firms, and tradespeople. The success of the industry is a testimonial of the combined expertise of these individuals and firms. Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction is only made possible by the contributions, direct or indirect, of every segment of the industry. Organizations such as the Portland Cement Association, the American Concrete Institute, and the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction were instrumental in providing current and relevant information. As with any good construction project, this text was started with an excellent foundation. I wish to especially acknowledge the contributions of the late Cameron Andres and the late Ronald Smith for constructing the foundation of this text from which they have allowed me to build. My sincere gratitude to all the people at Pearson for their expertise and unwavering effort over the years in the publishing of Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction and a continuing thank you to the project management team and editors at Pearson, who kept the whole process running smoothly during the production of this edition. I would also like to thank the reviewers, Daniel Castro-Lacouture from the Georgia Institute of Technology; William Dean from The State University of New York, College of Technology at Alfred; and Jeff Guh from the University of Southern California for their review and comments that made the tenth edition improved"

Book excerpt: "Unique among construction project management textbooks, Management of Construction Projects, 3rd edition, takes the constructor's perspective, carefully analyzing a complex, real-world construction case study from multiple angles to demonstrate the skills, knowledge, and techniques students require to become successful project managers. Popular as an undergraduate text and as a contractor resource, the book identifies key stages of the project management process, such as: delivery methods and contracts; estimating, planning, and scheduling; pre-construction services; subcontracting and material management; documentation, communications, and payment; controls, quality, and safety; leadership and ethics; and claims, disputes, and close-out. This third edition includes a novel case study, a new chapter on pre-construction services, updated contract forms and figures, additional student exercises, and integrates use of project management technology. Topics include building information models, sustainable construction, environmental compliance, lean construction, and off-site construction. Boxed examples, or short case studies, have been included with each chapter. These examples correspond directly to the chapter in which they are included and provide the reader an applied approach to learning the concepts presented. While primarily focused on the management of commercial projects, the principles and techniques in Management of Construction Projects also apply to residential, industrial, and heavy construction. Written in straightforward language from a constructor's perspective, this textbook prepares upcoming construction project managers with everything they need to see a successful project from start to finish"--
