Project management is the art of applying the necessary, cost, scheduling, and other variance identification tools to safely achieve a quality product, on time and within budget. This volume provides an understanding of the risk-management "process," and an outline of the considerations to implement one. No particular type of contract isolates participants from risks. The author presents an evaluation of risks involved in various contract formats, i.e., lump sum, cost plus, etc., and delivery methods, Design/Build and Design/Bid/Build.
