Basics Project Control maps every duty and service involved in architectural project management, making the case that specialist control skills are not optional — they are the determining factor in whether a client's objectives are actually met.
About This Book
On larger projects, the gap between design intent and delivered outcome is rarely a matter of architecture — it is a matter of management. Basics Project Control addresses this directly, presenting the full scope of project controller responsibilities in a practical, accessible format. Part of Birkhäuser's Basics series, the volume is aimed at students and emerging practitioners who need a clear framework for understanding how client interests are secured, how objectives are tracked, and how specialist project management integrates with the broader design and construction process. For anyone navigating complex commissions, this is a concise, working reference.
