Estimating in heavy construction: roads, bridges, tunnels, foundations
Description
This book is a valuable source of knowledge for everyone involved in estimating for heavy construction projects. It explains the strategies of heavy contractors and their implications for cost estimating. The core part presents the theoretical background of estimating along with best practice examples from large-scale international construction projects. Unlike other publications, it provides precise numerical examples and fully calculated costs.
