The Human Side of Construction

How to Ensure a Successful, Sustainable, and Profitable Career as an AEC Professional

About this book

An incisive guide to navigating the construction industry and dealing with the people who work in it

In the newly revised second edition of The Human Side of Construction: How to Ensure a Successful, Sustainable, and Profitable Career as an AEC Professional, renowned construction professional Angelo Suntres delivers an insightful discussion of the root cause of many of the issues plaguing the construction industry today—the lack of human connection. Suntres explains that, in an industry undergoing dramatic changes driven by technology, innovation, and new ways of working, construction professionals will need to make a fundamental shift in the way they think and operate.

The book walks you through how to connect and collaborate with others in the industry and how to address the most common challenges you'll face every day in construction. You'll find:

  • A thorough introduction to relationship building and effective communication with construction industry personnel
  • Comprehensive explorations of what the construction industry is really like, including real-world examples and techniques to advance your career
  • Practical discussions of how to find a job that you'll thrive in and how to stand out from the crowd
  • In-depth treatments of sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the construction industry

Perfect for construction industry professionals, including project managers, contractors, and engineers, The Human Side of Construction will also benefit property owners and managers who regularly deal with people involved in construction.
