 For Project Mgrs and Supers ? Dec 10, 2006
By L. Greenleaf
If you are an excavation or foundation SUB this may be quite helpful, particularly for road building. I found much of the info on ability and capacities of equipment:loaders, cranes, scrapers; concrete and aggregate production, paving, interesting but not info I need as a CM PM to build buildings in cities. If you want to know how to plan the construction of tall buildings, foundation planning, scheduling, staging, etc. don't look to this book. "Construction Mgmt.", which touched lightly on my interest, starts on page 479 of a 550 page book. This book is simply inaccurately titled.

 CM&M Dec 06, 2007

"M.P."
We used this book for our construction equipment and methods class along with the CAT performace manual, and together, I thought they complimented each other quite well. This book is great because it touches on the basics of earthwork and excavation and gets you ready for courses in estimating, scheduling and cost control. I enjoyed using this textbook because the questions make you analyze construction problems from many different angles and not just look from a "here's the problem, here's the answer" point-of-view. *All in all, I would have to say that this a very good and useful textbook.* -M.

 Lots of mistakes in this book Oct 10, 2004
By Elim Garak
This book is a basic introductory text to the construction industy, focusing on earth moving operations, water pumping operations, and finally on physical construction methods.
Unfortunately, a lot of the examples in this book contain numerical errors. For example, many of the examples contain references to data tables, and data from those tables is utilised for the analysis. Often, the examples use data entries that are obviously wrong, and thus invalidate the rest of the example, forcing the student to rework the example. This can be found throughout the book, but luckily the examples aren't too hard to rework.
For anyone interested in the construction industry, I don't recommend you buy this book. Getting out on site is the best learning experience. You should only buy this book if you need to (eg, for an undergraduate university subject) and then sell if off at the conclusion of the subject.
Great Construction Engineering Resource! Apr 22, 2012
By Jayman_10x
I purchased this book October 2011 in preparation for the Professional Engineering Examination (Civil) April 2012. It was a great help in preparing for the exam. I used it during the exam to help solve a question or two. Highly recommended! I found this text to be an excellent resource for scheduling and production.
Keep this book forever! Jan 18, 2012
By Keith Porter
I purchased this book for my required class and I have worshiped this book. This book gives lots of technical information and example calculations on a wide range of construction tasks. The book offers many examples that are on the PE exam. The book is an excellent source of reference for construction managers, contractors and engineers. I have an earlier edition of this book but I feel that this edition has enhanced illustrations and better step by step calculation examples. I will keep this book forever and if you purchase it I guarantee you will do the same.
