If you are or plan to be a project control engineer...dont miss this book...!!!By Jorge Luis LopezI am a 30 years experienced in CM; and hungry reader about the subject. I found this an excellent source about Construction Project Control. It clearly shows the integration of cost and schedule; one of the nightmares of good project management. The chapter about Earned Value is very good. Highly recommended...!!!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Book for a Student Learning the Construction Management BusinessBy Meaghan Doyle ; naThis was a great book for the class I had on Project Control. The format was extremely easy to follow and was very reader friendly. I had very little knowledge of project control prior to this class and the book was a great way for me to learn- referencing back to different aspects of construction management. I would recommend this book to students or professionals in the industry attempting to learn the subject on their own; or for a project control class.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

You manage costs to help with time issues and you manage time to gain control of cost issues.Throughout; the prose is lucid. The book is organized in a logical and user-friendly way. The book is probably strongest when it discusses how to evaluate progress (and predict outcomes) while in the middle of a project;
