The third edition of the Construction Project Manager's Pocket Book continues to guide and educate readers on the broad range of essential skills required to be a successful construction project manager. The book introduces the generic skills required by any project manager, before tackling the core skills and activities of a construction project manager with direct reference to the RIBA Plan of Work and the OGC Gateway. Key features and coverage in the new edition include:

· a step-by-step explanation of construction project management from pre-construction to occupancy,

· hard and soft skills, including ethics, leadership, team building,

· procurement strategies,

· supply chain and contract management,

· feasibility studies / development appraisals,

· environmental issues,

· digital tools and

· occupancy activities.

The updates in this new edition take account of all regulatory and legislative changes, and also changing market conditions and working trends. This is the ideal concise reference that no project manager, construction manager, architect or quantity surveyor should be without.
