The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints,
suggested activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the
textbook are found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make
it easier for course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because the
courses that use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the chapters into
one best order. Each instructor should consider his or her individual program and determine
which chapters need to be taught and in what order.
Best wishes,

Chapter 1: Construction Financial Management
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this chapter the student should be able to:
Explain why financial management is so important to a construction company.
Explain why financial management is different for construction companies than
formost other industries.
Understand that all managerial employees from the owner to the crew
forepersonplay a role in financial management of a construction company.
Instructional Hints
Compare a construction company to a manufacturing plant. Emphasize the
differences between a construction company and a manufacturing plant,
particularly: construction companies build unique products and the equipment isnot
usually stationary at single location. These are the reasons a construction company
needs a job cost system and an equipment cost system.
Activities
Invite a financial manager (for example, an accountant or general manager) from a
construction company to your class to discuss their role as a financial manager.
Have each student interview a management employee for a construction
company.The interviews should include owners, project managers, superintendents,
and forepersons. Each student is to find out how the employee contributes to the
financial management of the company. Discuss their findings in class.
Instruction Resources
The figures from this chapter in electronic format and PowerPoint slides can
befound at the instructor’s website.
Data on construction failures can be obtained from the Surety Information
Office(www.sio.org).
Current data on construction company failures can be found at
http://www.census.gov/ces/dataproducts/bds/data_firm.html. The most useful
datacomes from reports that include the sector (e.g., Sector, Firm Age by Sector, and
Firm Size by Sector) because construction can be separated from other industries.
