"This handbook is a very practical guide that addresses the day-to-day needs of professional project schedulers and managers. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, industrial, and civil construction ventures … . The most intriguing aspect of the book is the computer disk included in the back. This disk includes a … project scheduling program [which] can be adapted for nearly any size construction company and is appropriate for any size or type of construction project. … This book is recommended for academic engineering libraries that support programs in construction management. It is also recommended for special libraries connected to construction companies." - E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 3, March 2004 "…This edition will definitely be on my shelf and if you're serious about carving out a successful career as tomorrow's American builder…grab this very special book in a hurry before they sell out."
