My earlier Desk Book for Construction Superintendents is directed to new super-intendents, explaining procedures followed by most construction firms. I here extend that explanation to the responsibility of the person initiating estimates, purchasing, and cost control. Small contractors do this personally; in medium-size firms, a project manager is designated, and in larger companies the project manager is assisted by accounting, estimating, scheduling, or other departments.
