This book deals with the techniques and procedures used to build up an estimate, and explains how an estimate is converted into a tender. The role of the estimator is covered in detail, from early cost studies, through to the preparation of the estimate to the handover of construction budgets for successful tenders. It includes examples of an estimator's data shoots and pricing notes. The introduction of Coordinated Project Information (CPI) has had a profound effect on estimating for building work, while the advent of computer-aided estimating systems has radically affected building and civil engineering estimating. Both of these recent developments are examined in detail. This book is aimed at students on HNC/D and first degree courses, as wel as candidates for CIOB membership Part 1.
