Scheduling & Time Management (الجداول الزمنية):
Abdel-Rashid and Al-Shuneity dedicate entire chapters to the Critical Path Method (CPM) and resource leveling. For practical application, pair these books with training on Primavera P6 or MS Project (most Arabic university courses do this).
Recommendation: Look for Arabic supplements on "Financial & Time Scheduling" by Dr. Zaki El-Sayed if you need extreme detail on delay analysis.
Cost Management & Estimating (التكاليف):
These books cover Bill of Quantities (BOQ) preparation, cost estimation methods, and earned value management (EVM). Abdel-Rashid's book is particularly strong in linking cost accounts to the work breakdown structure (WBS).
Quality Management (الجودة):
Most integrate the ISO 9001 framework and construction quality assurance/control (QA/QC) processes into the project life cycle. The PMBOK Arabic guide is excellent for complementing this section.
Safety & Risk Management (السلامة والمخاطر):
While standard Arabic textbooks touch on site safety, this is often less emphasized in purely academic texts. I suggest supplementing with Egyptian or Saudi Ministry of Housing site-safety guidelines, which are freely available in Arabic.
My Practical Advice for You:
If you are a student: Start with Abdel-Rashid (best theoretical foundation).
If you are a practitioner: Start with Al-Shuneity (more focused on modern execution and soft skills).
For certifications (PMP/PMI-RMP): Rely heavily on the Arabic PMBOK Guide alongside these.
Which sub-field interests you the most? (Cost, Scheduling, Quality, or Safety?). Tell me, and I will give you specific chapters to focus on from these books, plus extra Arabic resources tailored just for that area.
