Module Two Is Intended To Introduce Students To Scheduling And Estimating Issues Which Are Important In Planning For Structural Steel Construction. Project Management And Contractual Aspects Of Steel Construction Were Presented In Module One Of This Manual; The Reader Should Refer As Needed To Module One For Supporting Information Which Is Relevant To The Scheduler And Estimator. 

The Discussions In This Section Are Based On A Typical Midsize (Three To Ten-Story) Building Project Similar To The Case Study Discussed In Section 1.2. (See Case Study Project Documents In Appendix A.) The Case Study Project Is Based On A General Contract Form Of Project Management. However, The Issues Presented In This Educational Module Are Also Relevant To Construction Management And Design-Build Project Environments.
