Based upon the analyses of sakuji kiroku (construction records compiled after the completion of Daimyo mansions in the city of Edo), this study aimed to clarify what kinds of management methods made it possible to construct enormous buildings in the Edo period. The concept of construction management methods here means the acquisition and control action of money, staff, materials, and time in order to complete construction. Through the understanding of the methods, we tried to realize the characteristics of architecture, city and society of the Edo period. Although the main objects of analyses were the construction records of Hagi clan's Edo estates, we compared other clan's records with Hagi clan's ones.
