This educational manual was developed for the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) to present the principal project management activities and issues for procuring and implementing steel construction. The manual was developed for use in undergraduate university level construction management programs. It should also be useful in project management courses in construction engineering, civil engineering, architectural engineering, and architecture programs.
The manual is intended as a supplemental text which may be incorporated into junior and senior
level project management, estimating, and scheduling courses. The manual was developed in two educational modules: Module One addresses project management activities and Module Two examines scheduling and estimating issues that pertain to steel construction. Both educational modules have been designed to help students understand the unique roles and relationships of the general contractor, steel fabricator, erector, specialty contractors, suppliers, architect, structural engineer, and owner in the construction of a structural steel building frame.
While the manual has been specifically developed to address steel construction, many of the issues presented are also applicable to the management of other construction subcontracts. Therefore, this manual may serve as a detailed case study of steel construction which will help students achieve a broader understanding of construction project management, estimating, and scheduling practices. It is hoped that faculty teaching this material, will find this steel case study useful as they present the principles of project management, estimating, and scheduling in their courses. Most construction management and construction related programs require students to take courses in construction science, technology, materials, and structural design. It is assumed that by the time students are enrolled in project management, estimating, and scheduling courses, they will have obtained sufficient understanding of the technical terminology and also have a general understanding of steel design and construction practices. This manual is not intended as a technical guide to steel, but focuses instead on the project management aspects of steel construction. Students may wish to consult other general texts on structural design and construction methods should they need additional technical information. AISC has developed numerous publications which address the technical and design aspects of steel. These publications may be obtained by contacting the AISC publication’s department.
