Financial management is an aspect of every construction project. Here is an easy-to-understand guide to financial concepts specific to the construction industry for both students and working professionals. The focus on only construction-related issues and the succinct, practical, and visually-oriented approach makes the material easily accessible to construction professionals who are not financial experts. Case studies and examples, several of them international, show how the principles apply to real world applications.
