Financed by the European Union, the project aimed to develop a library of basic materials for developing construction management skills for use in a pan-European context. Focused exclusively on the management of the construction phase of a building project from the contractor’s point of view, \u003ci\u003eConstruction Management\u003c\/i\u003e covers the complete range
