Synopsis

This comprehensive, how-to manual illustrates how owners can evaluate and select constructors for various civil engineering projects using the process of constructor prequalification. Jeffrey S. Russell draws upon his years of research and numerous interviews with industry experts to outline benefits and limitations and illustrate how this selection process is applicable for diverse project specifications. Pertinent decision-making parameters, current decision-making strategies, and sample applications of each are presented. In addition, biases that may influence the owner's judgment are reviewed, as well as the impact such bias may have on the prequalification decision. Figures, tables, and diagrams illustrate key points, particularly the order and timing of various procedures involved in the prequalification methodology.
Constructor Prequalification will help both owners and constructors in their evaluations of subcontractors and major vendors.
