Basics Site Management by Lars-Phillip Rusch maps the full scope of an architect's responsibilities on site — from construction supervision and quality assurance through to quantity survey, account settlement, and cost management — in precise, practical terms.
About This Book
Site management is where architectural intent meets construction reality, and the gap between the two is where projects succeed or fail. This compact volume addresses the architect's role in construction supervision with clarity and rigour, covering the procedural and contractual dimensions that design education often overlooks. Rusch works through quality control, progress monitoring, cost management, supplemental services, and the acceptance and delivery process in systematic detail. For architecture students entering practice and early-career architects navigating their first construction projects, this is a grounded reference for one of the profession's most consequential phases.
