An efficient, well–thought out, strictly defined schedule that allows for inevitable delays and changes is the crux of a successful construction project. Scheduling encompasses everything from staff requirements and equipment needs to material delivery and inspections, and the effective scheduler must have a deep understanding of the construction process and workflow. Construction Project Scheduling and Control describes the tools, techniques, and practices that make projects run smoothly, with invaluable insight from a construction professional.

This new third edition includes information on building information modeling (BIM) and its relationship to project control, and a thorough exploration of the latest developments in the field, including the author′s own Dynamic Minimum Lag technique. Solved and unsolved problems help students apply critical thinking to issues in construction scheduling, providing a real–world glimpse of the realities of this complex function.
