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.
