It's one of the hottest, fastest-growing areas in the construction industry today, as well as one of the most creative and rewarding. But managing these unusually complex projects can pose plenty of potential headaches for the uninitiated. With the many clients on such projects who must be satisfied, the various contractors who must be dealt with, and all the different technologies that must be successfully implemented and coordinated, you need an exceptionally sophisticated and workable system of project management to pull it all together - smoothly, on time, and within budget. This book provides you with precisely that system! Drawing on the newest and most effective techniques of project management yet developed-techniques that are especially well-suited to the unique problems posed by hotel and resort development and other large commercial projects - this detailed, step-by-step guide takes you through every stage of the process. Among the many things you'll learn: how to establish market feasibility and minimize risk; how to ascertain the special functional needs of a particular hotel or resort complex and come up with an aesthetically pleasing, but cost-effective, plan to meet those needs; how to assemble a talented and smoothly functioning team, with tips on setting up clear lines of communication; how to balance the sometimes conflicting requirements of all the various clients involved - including owners, government authorities, hotel managers, and hotel users; how to conform to the constraints presented by budgetary and environmental concerns and still come up with a plan you'll be proud to put your name on; how to assure cost and quality control through every stage of the project; and how to achieve "hands-on" management of everything from the bidding process ... to procurements ... to planning and scheduling ... to liaisons with clients ... to each stage of construction ... to phase-out and completion of the project. Filled with fascinating case studies of ambitious hotel and resort projects that have been successfully and imaginatively carried out in recent years, this book is unequalled in providing expert advice on handling the complex issues you'll need to master a challenging and truly rewarding undertaking.

This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese hotel industry has started the steepest new hotel development curve the world has ever experienced. By 2039 China is expected to reach 9.1 million hotel rooms, four times its current number. Development on this scale generates specific dynamics and challenges. It will require proven project management approaches that are widely used in other industries to meet these challenges head on and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of opening new hotels on large scale. This book briefly considers published plans for future hotel openings in Greater China to explain the scale of the problem. It analyzes why traditional approaches to opening new hotels do not work efficiently and cannot be scaled, and why project management methodologies are the best way forward. The major part of this book examines modern project management concepts to determine the feasibility of reorganizing a hotel management company and developing a new hotel opening "how to" guide so that it can use project management to effectively and efficiently open new hotels on large scale. This book is a working document for senior hotel executives involved in new hotel opening projects (who may be new to a high growth region, new to a hotel opening project related position and new to project management).

Download or read book Cost Accounting and Financial Management for Construction Project Managers written by Len Holm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper cost accounting and financial management are essential elements of any successful construction job, and therefore make up essential skills for construction project managers and project engineers. Many textbooks on the market focus on the theoretical principles of accounting and finance required for head office staff like the chief financial officer (CFO) of a construction firm. This book's unique practical approach focuses on the activities of the construction management team, including the project manager, superintendent, project engineer, and jobsite cost engineers and cost accountants. In short, this book provides a seamless connection between cost accounting and construction project management from the construction management practitioner’s perspective. Following a complete accounting cycle, from the original estimate through cost controls to financial close-out, the book makes use of one commercial construction project case study throughout. It covers key topics like financial statements, ratios, cost control, earned value, equipment depreciation, cash flow, and pay requests. But unlike other texts, this book also covers additional financial responsibilities such as cost estimates, change orders, and project close-out. Also included are more advanced accounting and financial topics such as supply chain management, activity-based accounting, lean construction techniques, taxes, and the developer’s pro forma. Each chapter contains review questions and applied exercises and the book is supplemented with an eResource with instructor manual, estimates and schedules, further cases and figures from the book. This textbook is ideal for use in all cost accounting and financial management classes on both undergraduate and graduate level construction management or construction engineering programs.
