READ THIS BOOK! Review: Highly informative! - "Construction Project Management 101" was excellently written and is very easy to comprehend. No matter where a person is in their Construction journey, this book will open their eyes and expand their knowledge. It is highly informative and worth every nickel and much much more. Review: Good Book for Absolute Beginners - This book served its purpose of giving a general understanding of the construction management field. I’d say the first 3/4 of the book were most impactful and provided information on good to know concepts in the construction industry. There was a chance during the last part of the book for the author to give more detailed examples of construction management projects but it ultimately felt repetitive and very generic. Overall it’s an informative book, in my opinion, better suited for those with little to no knowledge of the construction and construction management field. I don’t see a 10 year experienced CM or PM or new graduate finding much use or new information. But as someone who’s looking to get into the field, I’d say it was helpful.
