The Second Edition of Project Control is an introductory practical guide that explores the reasons and methodologies for proper planning, monitoring, and controlling project costs and schedule.

This Second Edition has been updated with all-new pedagogical elements and ancillary materials for use in the construction project management classroom. This new edition features all-new sections on baseline scheduling, estimate development, probability analysis, and more.

Written by Wayne Del Pico, a seasoned professional with over 40 years of experience in construction project controls, Project Control includes detailed information on:

Role of the project manager, covering leading the project team, creating the project plan, developing the project schedule, and monitoring project progress over time
Project control cycles, covering plans to achieve goals, executing work according to plan, identifying variations and their causes, and executing work and measuring changes
Pre-construction planning, covering key personnel and responsibilities and establishing baselines for schedule and cost control
Budgeting, covering types of estimates, organization estimates, and harnessing the budget as a management tool

Providing expert insight into the management skills of the project manager combined with the analytical focus of the accountant and the “big picture” oversight of the executive, Project Control is an essential resource for students in construction management programmes and professionals in construction firms with specializations in long-term infrastructure projects.
