The latest release of this well-structured manual, for the use of project managers on either the contractor or the owner side, appears at an opportune moment. This manual reminds project managers of the commitment to remain within the budgets which have been delegated to them, the need for anticipation, transparency, reliability of the information they report and the check points to implement in the course of the project. They will also be able to understand the function of cost control and the role of project cost controllers on both contractor and owner side. Finally, it places project control at the heart of the project and at all decision levels in order that the estimated final cost of the project can be justified at any time from project start until completion. It goes without saying that all the recommendations in this book are applicable to any industrial project - Pierre Penicaut, Head of Project Control, Total Cost Control is a very serious matter. Sufficient focus needs to be provided from senior management, and it needs to be manned with high quality resources. From my experience, the investment in a very strong Cost Control function is always worthwhile for the sustainable development of project-driven organisations. I certainly hope that with this book, this need will be recognised and understood more widely. - Bruno Chabas, CEO, SBM Offshore
