Book Description

Proper accountancy and money management are essential parts of any successful construction job and so form up essential skills for construction project managers and project engineers. several textbooks on the market target the theoretical principles of accounting and finance needed for head staff like the chief financial officer (CFO) of a construction firm.

In short, this book provides a seamless association between accountancy and construction project management from the development management practitioner’s perspective.

Following a whole accounting cycle, from the first estimate through price controls to financial close-out, the book makes use of one commercial construction project case study throughout.
