From administrator to leader — the project manager our industry actually needs. You know the pattern. The RFIs that should never have been needed.

This book is the alternative. Twelve moves a real project manager makes — every one...

Too many companies never teach it. In Elevating Construction Project Engineers, Jason Schroeder takes the most undervalued position on the commercial jobsite and ...

The owner walks the gorgeous, lifeless space and asks the only question that matters: when can my people move in? And nobody has a clean answer. Commissioning is the frog nobody wants to eat — the hardest part of any building, with the most interfaces, the most trades depending on ...
