Construction Project Administration 10th Edition by Fisk & Reynolds (Hardcover)

Construction Project Administration, Tenth Edition by Edward R. Fisk and Wayne D. Reynolds is the hardcover Pearson textbook on the administrative side of construction projects, from pre-construction through closeout.

Most construction texts teach scheduling and estimating. Fisk and Reynolds teach the paperwork that decides whether a project makes money: contract documents, submittals, change orders, claims, progress payments, quality assurance records, safety administration and final closeout. The tenth edition updates the content for current industry practice and remains the standard text for construction administration courses in civil engineering and construction management programs.

Why this edition

The tenth edition is the current one and is written from the owner’s and engineer’s side of the table, which is a perspective most contractor-focused books skip. It is also a useful reference for anyone studying for the CCM or preparing claims documentation, because it explains why each record is kept and what happens in a dispute when it is missing.

Both. It is a course text, but resident engineers and project administrators keep it as a desk reference for contract procedures and documentation.
