Dedicated to the loving memory of Maria Kirchner Halpin 1937–2009 About the Authors Daniel W.
Halpin is Professor Emeritus and retired Bowen Head of the Division of Construction Engineering and Management at Purdue University. He is a graduate of the U. Military Academy at West Point and received the MSCE and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1969 and 1973. Prior to attending Illinois, he served in the U.
Army Corps of Engineers receiving the Bronze Star Medal for service in the Republic of Vietnam. His awards include the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize (1979) and the Peurifoy Construction Research Award (1992) both given by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). ASCE recognized his achievements with distinguished membership (Dist.

v Preface Introduction This book has been a basic text worldwide over the past 35 years. It provides an introduction to the construction industry for students planning to work as construction managers. It is estimated that more than 400,000 students and practitioners have used it to gain a broad understanding of what one might encounter as an engineer and/or manager in the complex world of construction. The first edition of this text was published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Quoting from the Preface of that edition, we noted that: The construction industry. is a fragmented and diffuse industry encompassing both very small and very large contracting groups as well as the in-house forces of government and semi-government agencies. It also includes many professional groups such as architects, engineers, construction man- agers, and management consultants. In addition, materials suppliers and vendors as well as other support groups are part of this massive industry.
It is not surprising then that it speaks with many voices, and that at times highly quantitative methods are appropriate while at other times the intuitive or empirical approach is all that is available. The management of construction is at one and the same time an art and a science. Therefore, construction managers must be masters of a wide range of qualitative and quan- titative subjects and deal with a wide spectrum of topics involving technical, management, legal, financial and leadership issues. Using an analogy, a construction manager is like a decathlon athlete who must be outstanding in a wide range of technical and people-oriented areas—a jack of all trades, master of all.
Organization Early chapters of this text address the history of construction and the process by which owners procure and contractors execute construction projects. Subsequent chapters deal with company organization as well as planning and scheduling. Chapters addressing the four Ms of construction—money, machines, manpower, and materials—are then presented. Along the way, monetary concepts such as calculating the cost of money (i., issues regarding interest and invest- ment), the impact of taxes, funding of projects from the owner’s perspective and how contractors manage “cash flow” during the construction process are discussed.
The final chapter discusses one of the most important issues confronting modern day construction managers—safety. Material new to this edition includes chapters on planning and scheduling that have been streamlined to provide a smoother presentation. In addition, a new chapter addressing linear scheduling methods in detail as well as the scheduling impact of resource allocation and resource planning has been added. Material regarding the historical background of construction as a profession and a disci- pline has been included to help the student become excited about the multifaceted nature of realizing great construction projects.
Hopefully, students will gain a better understanding of the role played by construction over the centuries in shaping the society in which we live. vii viii Preface Acknowledgments The authors would like to recognize the late Professor Ronald Woodhead of the University of New South Wales for the major role he played in the realization of the first two editions of this book. His experience and insights were critical to the success of these earlier editions. We would also like to thank the many colleagues and numerous students who have pro- vided very useful feedback regarding various aspects of this book over the past 35 years.
In particular, the following academics and industry colleagues provided important insights and relevant material for this book: Dulcy Abraham and Joe Sinfield, Purdue University Bob Bowen, Bowen Engineering, Indianapolis, IN Peter Dozzi, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada Jimmy Hinze, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL E. Paul Hitter Jr., Messer Construction, Cincinnati, OH Mike Kenig, Holder Construction, Atlanta, GA Jerry Kerr, Construction Consultant, Indianapolis, IN Kelly Wallace, Bozzuto Construction, Greenbelt, MD Finally, we would like to recognize the continuing support and understanding of our families through the process of writing, updating, and preparing the text for publication.
