Project managers ensure that work is completed on time, in accordance with contract documents, and at a profit. MCAA’s Project Manager’s Manual equips PMs with general information on project management in the construction industry, offering tips for handling day‐to‐day situations and avoiding some of the most common pitfalls. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.
The manual covers key topics like:
- Managing change orders and claims
- Job cost and labor control
- Productivity
- Scheduling
- Safety
- And much more
In addition to guidance, explanation, and best practices, it includes templates and examples of commonly used forms and documents like a Short Interval Schedule.
MCAA offers a variety of additional resources of interest to PMs. Find them here.
