viii Preface

is the essence of construction management. However, in recent years,an important change in these basic resources has occurred. Women nowconstitute an important part of the construction industry. They occupyresponsible positions in the field trades and at all levels of management.Construction terms like journeyman, foreman, and piledrivermanhave been used in the industry for literally hundreds of years. Because such

words are the only ones generally recognized, these words are used in thistext but are not meant in any way to imply gender. At times, the word heor him is used as a singular pronoun. Such use of the masculine genderis done solely for the sake of readability and has no presumption of gender.The authors of this text recognize and applaud the important contributionthat women have made and are making to the construction industry.

This book teaches a method for capturing, modeling, and viewing theentirety of a construction project so that it can be effectively plannedand managed from start to finish. Consequently, many of the illustrations

are quite large and presented on extra-wide pages called tip-ins. Dueto production limitations, these tip-ins can only be inserted at specificintervals throughout the book rather than at the point they are referenced.

Where a tip-in is referenced, guidance is provided on where to locate thefigure within the text. In some cases, the tip-ins are located in the chapterfollowing the point where they are referenced.

This fifth edition represents 37 years of publication and three generationsof authors. We trust that this fully updated edition will continue as aprincipal reference for todays professionals and an instructive guide fortomorrows constructors.
