Master Of Projects
A hands‑on guide to project management in construction environmentsBy Luke Pike
Length9h 9m
About this audiobook
Master of Projects is a no‑nonsense, real‑world guide to running complex construction and infrastructure projects – and walking away with your reputation stronger than when you started.
Written by a former tradesman, soldier, and client‑side project manager in Defence‑style and Federal Government environments, this book shows you how serious projects actually work when the drawings are wrong, the brief is vague, and the politics are loud.
