Features
Guides estimators and project managers to properly scope the work of subcontractors and to avoid costly mistakes
Offers an in-depth look at all phases of the construction process
Includes solved problems and numerous examples.
Identifies several aspects of projects that can be particularly burdensome if not properly addressed
Provides specific guidance and instructions for each particular type of construction work to be performed
Summary
A single mistake, whether made during the bidding process or when executing a construction project, can potentially cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. Of course, the sooner mistakes are caught, the less costly they become. Based on the authors’ combined experience working on projects large and small, Construction Management: Subcontractor Scopes of Work delineates how project teams can avoid mistakes and run projects more intelligently, effectively, and efficiently.
This book’s concentration on the nuts and bolts of a construction project, rather than on basic philosophies and concepts, sets it apart. It focuses not on the mechanics of writing subcontract scopes of work, but on why they are written the way they are. Designed by contractors for contractors, this is not a book of simple checklists describing how to address various issues, but a compilation of practical examples and lessons learned to form a knowledge base that can be applied to any project. This knowledge can be used to prepare bid documents that clearly define the roles of the various subcontractors, ensuring the full scope of the project is covered without redundancy or duplication.
Provides invaluable training while minimizing lost productivity!
Auxiliary multiple choice tests and answer keys are available for download from the CRC website. Using this feature, executives will spend less time preparing and presenting in-house seminars, employees can study when they want and take the tests at opportune times. With this book and downloadable tests, the productivity lost due to training is reduced tremendously.
Disagreements over the scope of work required of a general contractor and/or trade subcontractors that ultimately end in construction disputes plague the construction industry. This book elucidates problematic aspects of construction projects while also providing insight into the different perspectives of the various project team members. It delivers helpful information that prevents gaps in subcontract coverage and scope disagreements and reduces potential construction disputes.

The Construction Extension to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – 2000 Edition supplements, modifies, reinforces and expands the profession’s de facto global standard in an easy-to-use format for practitioners in the construction industry. This highly-anticipated Extension is complete with the knowledge and skills specific to construction project management practitioners around the globe, in a format that mirrors the PMBOK® Guide. With a world of construction projects squeezed onto one CD-ROM, this reference manual may be used easily at the office or on the road.
Project management practitioners in the construction arena know there is a right way, a wrong way and a construction way to do everything. Thanks to the Construction Extension to the PMBOK® Guide, all practitioners, no matter their level of experience, have their best shot at doing it the construction way.
To swiftly meet the needs of the construction industry, this extension will only be available on CD-ROM in PDF file format, as it is considered provisional (not subject to an Exposure Draft or Beta Testing). An updated version is expected to be available in print format in 2005 upon the release of the PMBOK® Guide Third Edition in 2004.

This European Standard specifies requirements for weldable structural steels to be used in the fabrication of fixed
offshore structures in the form of plates up to and including 150 mm thick. It also specifies sections up to 63 mm
thick except for sections delivered in the as-rolled condition which are permitted up to 25 mm thick only. Seamless
hollow sections up to and including 40 mm thick and high frequency electric resistance welded hollow sections up
to and including 20 mm thick are specified. Greater thicknesses for sections and hollow sections may be agreed,
provided the technical requirements of this European Standard are maintained.
For plates the thickness limitations are:
S355G2+N, S355G5+M, - up to and including 20 mm
S355G3+N, S355G6+M - up to and including 40 mm
S355G7+N, S355G8+N, S355G9+N, S355G10+N - up to and including 150 mm
S355G7+M, S355G8+M, S355G9+M, S355G10+M - up to and including 100 mm
S420G1+QT, S420G1+M, S420G2+QT, S420G2+M - up to and including 100 mm
S460G1+QT, S460G1+M, S460G2+QT, S460G2+M - up to and including 100 mm
The standard is applicable to steels for offshore structures, designed to operate in the offshore sector but not to
steels supplied for the fabrication of subsea pipelines, risers, process equipment, process piping, and other
utilities. It is primarily applicable to the North Sea Sector, but may also be applicable in other areas provided that
due consideration is given to local conditions e.g. temperature.
In the case of hollow sections formed from plate with the seam fusion welded, this European standard covers only
the requirements of the plate material.
Minimum yield strengths up to 460 MPa are specified together with low temperature impact properties at
temperatures down to –40 °C.
This European standard applies to material supplied ex-mill or from merchant's stock.
