Covering the life of a construction project from inception to completion, this useful reference explains basic and advanced aspects of engineering economics, cost estimating, cost control, cost forecasting, planning, and scheduling. It serves both as a comprehensive introduction to cost engineering and as a practical, on-the-job guide for any construction project where the object is economy. Construction Cost Engineering Handbook describes the responsibilities of each member of the construction team and defines their relationship to project control. Analyzes project economics before, during, and after a project's finish. Examines various types and methods of estimating. Distinguishes between cost reporting and cost forecasting, with valuable cost and scheduling integration examples. Cost studies of building seek to ensure the efficient use of available resources to the industry, and to increase the rate of growth of construction work in the most efficient manner.

Indonesia • Japan • Malaysia • Myanmar • Philippines • Singapore • South Korea. ![]() Considers planning and scheduling procedures such as the bar chart and sophisticated contemporary techniques. Highlights ways of avoiding common mistakes through data development. And furnishes computer samples for estimating, cost control, cost forecasting, and scheduling. Illustrated with more than 180 excellent diagrams and drawings, and featuring convenient appendixes on foreign and remote projects, code of accounts and work breakdown structure, and typical project activities, Construction Cost Engineering Handbook is an indispensable reference for civil, cost, project, plant, design, construction, and industrial engineers and managers as well as architects, building contractors, and financial controllers involved with construction projects. This unique handbook collects together a comprehensive and up-to-date range of indices measuring construction costs and price movements. The authors give guidance on the use of the data making this an essential aid to accurate estimating. It includes many examples how construction cost and price indices are compiled and how they can be used by the estimator in tender analysis, pricing and price adjustment, cost planning and forecasting.
