Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book consists of 3 parts. Part 1 is about observing well to reduce biases, which is unnecessary, because we already know, and the discussion lacks sophistication, so I knock off a star. Part 2 is about managing projects, or rather tips about managing projects, because there is no methodology, or at best disorganized (I knock off another star). The author claims, for example, that value engineering and change management have "rare legitimate use" (p.78), which is poor advice. Most topics are covered in one or two pages; thus change management is covered in less than a page. There is virtually nothing on contract management. Part 3 is about "facts" of buildings, which is little more than simple physics. I look in vain for building design considerations (so I knock off another star), and remind myself that the author is not an A/E designer. There are very few diagrams in the book, so the discussion is hard to follow (e.g. on HVAC). One reason why there are so few diagrams is that it is only simple physics (e.g. V=IR), and little on design or integration of building services. Finally, the imperial system is used, so it is only suitable for US readers.
