Estimating for Building & Civil Engineering Work

'This is a very useful publication that is very clearly presented and easy to use. It should be a valuable tool for architects and engineers and should assist in the preparation of estimates of cost. The book is a valuable work of reference that I would strongly recommend to both practising professionals and students.' Edward D. Mills, CBE, Hon.D.Litt., FRIBA, FCSD, FRSA 'The textbook lists a formidable array of standard forms building and civil engineering contracts together with the appropriate standard methods of measurement covering a very wide spectrum of building and civil engineering ventures. This in turn invokes an in depth knowledge of the synthesis of contract rates which is amply dealt with in this textbook.' R.D. Wood, FRICS, Chartered Quantity Surveyor 'This well established estimating book has been fully updated and contains a wealth of cost data.' ASI Journal
