About This Book:

No one person has more control over the building operations than the superintendent.

Whether your company builds two custom homes a year or a thousand production homes, the superintendent's effective management greatly impacts your bottom line. Basic Construction Management: The Superintendent's Job provides information that will sharpen a superintendent's skills in maintaining budgets, preparing and meeting schedules, and ensuring quality control.

In this completely revised and updated version of the popular Basic Construction Management, noted speaker and professor Leon Rogers places special focus on developing and managing systems to address key areas superintendents need to master in order to succeed:

• Project start-up
• Quality control and inspections
• Cost control
• Scheduling
• Construction team building
• Trade contractor management
• Working with the homeowner
• Safety management

Basic Construction Management also emphasizes how to computerize your scheduling and reporting systems. New managers can use this essential reference as a comprehensive training tool, while more experienced superintendents can brush up on the latest techniques and technologies. Leon Rogers|
