Pocket Book
The second edition of the Construction Project Manager’s Pocket Book maintains
its coverage of a broad range of project management skills, from technical
expertise to leadership, negotiation, team building and communication. However,
this new edition has been updated to include:
• revisions to the CDM regulations,
• changes to the standard forms of contract and other documentation used by
the project manager,
• the impact of BIM and emerging technologies,
• implications of Brexit on EU public procurement,
• other new procurement trends, and
• ethics and the project manager.
Construction project management activities are tackled in the order they occur
on real projects, with reference made to the RIBA Plan of Work throughout. This
is the ideal concise reference which no project manager, construction manager,
architect or quantity surveyor should be without.

Preface
Project management is a comparatively new specialism, having its roots in
post- Second World War regeneration, and as such is a discipline that is not just
confined to the construction industry.
During the past thirty years or so, project management has been increasingly
in demand by construction clients and this is perhaps due to a number of reasons,
including the reluctance of architects to take on the role of project manager and
the increasing complexity of building and commissioning new and refurbished
buildings.
Finding a definition of construction project management is complicated by the
use of a variety of similar terms with individuals and / or organisations adopting
the title project manager without fully appreciating the nature or the scope of
the discipline.
Since the first edition of this pocket book, Building Information Modelling has
become mandatory for most public sector projects and there have been major
changes to health and safety regulations. In addition, digital construction has
arrived and it is anticipated that it will make the role of the project manager more
effective.
It is hoped that this pocket book will help to define the role of the construc-
tion project manager as well as introducing not only the generic skills required by
project managers, but also the specific skills required by the construction project
manager.
