New Construction Management Text by Schack Institute Professors

Richard Lambeck and John Eschemuller, both clinical professors in the graduate con­struction management program at the NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate, have co­authored a new book, Urban Construction Project Management (McGraw Hill, 2008). The 420-page text by the two project management expert/ professional engineers—with a combined 80 years of work experience—presents information and case studies on common problems of construction management in an urban environment. It covers topics such as safety, logistics, building code compliance, scheduling and procurement, the bidding process, insurance, and the like. Additionally, specific issues, such as the challenges of working on small sites, the permit process, coordinating with utility companies, and dealing with adjacent properties, are given attention.
