Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods, sixth edition, deals with a diverse set of construction planning scenarios. Clifford Schexnayder has improved on a classic treatment of the topic by updating, improving, and adding material important to instructors in this area. This sixth edition of Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods has sharpened in focus to concentrate on planning. New methods and data are incorporated throughout with many contemporary examples.
