A practical guide to critical path scheduling in construction

James J. O’Brien’s eighth edition presents the critical path method (CPM) as a framework for planning, scheduling, and managing construction projects. A recurring “John Doe” case study ties the material to project tasks including building a logic plan, using scheduling software, updating schedules, controlling costs, planning resources, and evaluating delays. The book also addresses CPM’s role in construction claims, including analysis and resolution, and discusses applying the method across projects of different scales. Its mix of method, software examples, and project-management topics makes it a reference centered on the practical processes of construction scheduling.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Construction managers and project professionals seeking a CPM reference.
  • Readers learning how scheduling software can support construction planning and project updates.
  • Those interested in cost control, resource planning, delay evaluation, or construction claims.
