I have been working in the Project controls industry for over 30 years now and personally, I’ve always struggled to find an expert based all-in-one book that could confidently tackle in-depth project controls topics. Thankfully, today, the current Project Controls professionals are blessed to have this wonderful Handbook; “The Practitioner Handbook of Project Controls”. Shane Forth and Dennis Lock unveil the secrets of decades worth of Project Controls experience across many industries and mega projects; not only with the ambitious project controls professionals who needs to excel in their careers, but also within all levels of project and construction management individuals. This unprecedented project controls “Practitioner’s Handbook” is an indispensable and a must-have reference to guide projects teams. This book ensures the successful delivery of projects throughout all the project stages from pre-initiation all the way to construction completion, operation and maintenance! The 43 chapters contained therein expertly engage the reader with all one needs to know and how to apply practices to assure successful planning and execution of your projects no matter how complex they are. It navigates project controls practitioners through all the crucial aspects of Project Controls, Project Organizations, Cost Control, Scheduling, Risk Management, Purchasing and Contracts, Monitoring and Measuring for Control, Information and Communication Management, Assurance and Governance, People Management. Additionally, the authors share this invaluable knowledge along with some practical case examples from real-life projects. I would highly recommend this book to all my colleagues within Project Controls, Construction Management, Project Management and Construction Contracts admission practitioners. The “Practitioner Handbook of Project Controls” is simply an essential roadmap for any projects’ success!
