Integrated Design and Cost Management for Civil Engineers

Using case studies to illustrate principles and processes, this book is a guide to designing, costing and implementing a civil engineering project to suit a client’s brief. It emphasises correctly quantifying and planning works to give reliable cost estimates to minimise your risk of losing business through over-costing or losing profits through under-costing. It also outlines how to make sure you meet the necessary local ethical and legal requirements. The main territories covered are Australia, New Zealand, the UK, South East Asia and the Commonwealth countries, although the principles are internationally relevant.
