Overview

This book provides a pragmatic roadmap for mastering project delivery in civil and infrastructure engineering—one that applies across both developing and industrialized nations. Dr. Arthur L.C. Antoine, an experienced civil engineer, project manager, and researcher, blends real-world case studies with empirical data to scrutinize current project delivery methods and performance. With a focus on the foundational pillars of schedule, cost, and quality—alongside the critical but often overlooked elements of procurement and risk—this book offers a fresh perspective for industry professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders. Through practical insights and rigorous analysis, Dr. Antoine challenges conventional approaches, highlights global best practices, and presents actionable recommendations for delivering infrastructure projects that are successfully delivered with a focus on long-term transformation. The book is ideal for engineers, project managers, public works leaders, and anyone invested in the future of infrastructure development.
