<p>Rapp (building construction management technology, Purdue U.) provides advice on the management of post-emergency built infrastructure recovery projects, for practitioners new to the profession who have little actual experience so far. The work is a little different from conventional construction, he says, though that may not be obvious until a manager is in the thick of it. Management and administration are his main focus, and he discusses such aspects as contracts; time, cost, and quality control; communication and documentation; and demobilization and closeout. A section also describes such restoration techniques as fire and smoke restoration, microbial remediation, and disaster debris management and demolition.(Annotation C2011 Book News Inc.
