"...my message to lecturers in building/quantity surveying is to 'put it on your course list for essential reading' and to students and practitioners 'buy it' " Building Technology & ManagementProvides a practical introduction to understanding the costs encountered on a building project together with an appreciation of the many factors influencing them.

Adapted from the author's successful Science for Motor Vehicle Technicians, this book aims to develop the student's understanding of statics, dynamics, energy, machines and engine power against a background of basic mechanical science, and is supported by many illustrations.

Intended primarily for students following the BTEC Level 2 course in Motor Vehicle Science, this book will be suitable for all motor vehicle students following similar courses. It will also be of value to overseas students who are preparing for the City and Guilds of London Institute Examination Motor Vehicle Technician Certificate Part 1.

Topics discussed include the structure and magnitude of the construction industry, responsibilities and roles of the organisations and people within the industry.

First published in 1983. This book aims to cover the requirements for the Business and Technician Education Council Level Three & Four Units in Environmental Science. At the same time it was recognised that there was a real need for a suitable book for those studying Building, Quantity Surveying, Architecture and Environmental Health at 1st degree level. This book should therefore form a useful first year introductory text for both ‘A’ level and BTEC entrants. The book contains a large number of worked examples in the text as well as many student questions at the end of each chapter. Experiments have been included, not with the intention of being exhaustive, but to give ideas. Some areas of work lend themselves to student practical work better than others so that some inbalance is inevitable. ‘Environmental Science’ should give students an introduction to the environmental problems in construction and the methods which may be used to provide a satisfactory and economic solution.
