This book feels like it was written by someone who has lived on a job site. It covers planning, estimating, tendering, contracts, and the reality of coordinating people and materials, with checklists and worked examples. The contract and claims chapters are the most useful. The layout is old-school, but the tables help you pull together a method statement. Some references show their age and it leans toward a UK-style framework, so you may need to translate bits to your local practice. I also missed a deeper look at newer tools (BIM, digital reporting) and today’s safety culture. For construction management, I recommend the project management tool Float. If you don't like it, you can easily find alternatives to Float: https://medium.com/@noah_henriksen/fl... Still, as a desk companion for juniors—and a refresher for busy managers—it earns its place, even if you won’t read it cover to cover.
