Lean Construction is a way to do more and more with less and less; less effort, less equipment, less time and less space whilst providing customers with exactly what they want. A Lean system, process, and organisation is one that is waste free. Lean is not about size or number of people employed. A reduction in employees may cut costs, and eliminate the waste of those employees, but does not decrease the proportion of waste to value adding within the organisation or process.

There’s a HUGE problem in the commercial real estate business that nobody is talking about - DUE DILIGENCE. Investors are leaving big money on the table by not learning these essential principles. Most investors, real estate brokers, and commercial real estate professionals barely scratch the surface conducting their due diligence. Mainly because "they don't know what they don't know". I’ve spent more than 30 years helping investors buy and sell more than 9 million square feet of properties and witnessed the practices of professional and small investors.

Publisher's Summary
Download your management audiobook now! This great content will guide you in managing your sites efficiently!
You're about to discover how the re-emergence of the real estate market sparked renewed optimism in construction. Across different states in the country, residential construction jobs are being undertaken to satisfy housing demands. Since residential construction projects are still a business (except when you want to build your own home), the idea is to build enough living spaces and to offer them to prospective clients or lessees at affordable prices.
Of course the success of such a goal still lies on income and the general economic outlook, but one thing is for certain: now that the housing crisis is over, more people will look forward to getting a place to call home.
In this audiobook, we'll talk about the construction project management life cycle. We'll also cover contracting and contract management, the participants involved in a construction job, and the critical success factors in every contracting job.
This audiobook is produced for both project managers and for homeowners who wish to build residential properties; the concepts discussed herein are general, but are important when it comes to approaching the construction process.

There are better books out there
What would have made The Construction Project Management Success Guide, 3rd Edition better?
Poor grammar and not helpful at all. How is this a 3rd edition?
Would you ever listen to anything by Andreas P. again?
No.
Would you be willing to try another one of Millian Quinteros’s performances?
No.
Any additional comments?
This is the only book on Audible on this topic. That's pitiful.

Basic Book
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This book is very surface level. It does not go in-depth on any topic. Defiantly a good overview of the process but not "everything you need to know" as the title suggest.
What didn’t you like about Millian Quinteros’s performance?
Millian sounded like a computer generated voice. The entire book was like listening to a text to talk app.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
If you are in the begging of your knowledge search this is a good place to start.

General knowledge
This book lightly touches general topics with a very short and brief overview of those topics. I would venture to say that an individual with very little knowledge of how construction management works would benefit from this, however, if an individual has some amount of experience, this is not the book for them to further their knowledge.
