Construction Site Planning and Logistical Operations: Site-Focused Management for
Builders
Organizing and administering a construction site so that the right resources get to the
right place in a timely fashion demands strong leadership and a rigorous process. Good
logistical operations are essential to profitability, and this book is the essential,
muddy boots, guide to efficient site management. Written by experienced
educator-practitioners from the world-leading building construction management program at
Purdue University, the volume is the ultimate guide to the knowledge, skills, and
abilities that need to be mastered by project superintendents.
Observations about leadership imperatives and techniques are included.
Organizationally, the book follows site-related activities from bidding to project
closeout. Beyond outlining broad project managerial practices, the authors drill into
operational issues such as temporary soils and drainage structures, common equipment, and
logistics.
The content is primarily geared for the manager of a domestic or small commercial
building construction project, but includes some reference to public and international
work, where techniques, practices, and decision-making can be substantially different. The
book is structured into five sections and 15 chapters.
