520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. |
Summary, etc. |
The construction industry is a highly competitive "management business", that is, if a firm is to be successful in the construction industry, it must be proficient at all levels of its management team. Management in the construction industry can be separated into three basic areas or descriptions: Top management: owners, corporate heads, etc. Middle management: contract managers, project managers, project engineers, etc. Production management: superintendents, foremen, etc. There are extensive college courses offered in top-business management and engineering throughout the country. Likewise, there are good programs offered where one can learn the production end of the business, such as apprenticeship programs, technical schools, etc. However, far too often the middle management positions are being left to personnel who have had no specific organized training for the positions they hold; yet, the entire company's profits often rise or fall on the ability or experience of the one who performs the middle management functions. The purpose of this book is to present in an organized text the various functions covering the broad spectrum of work. |
