Estimating Building Costs

---

This book presents the state-of-the-art principles, practices, and techniques related
to estimating building costs in metric. It is primarily designed as a textbook
for graduate and upper-division undergraduate students in civil engineering, architectural
engineering, construction engineering and management, and related
programs. Instructors should find the book very useful and suitable for various
teaching styles. Inasmuch as the book contains much more material than can be
covered in one semester or quarter, selected chapters can be used to meet various
academic objectives.

Practitioners or organizations involved in the building industry, such as
owners, architects, project managers, general contractors, and subcontractors for
building projects all over the world can use this book as a handy reference. Since
this is possibly the first US textbook on building cost estimation in metric units,
construction practitioners should find it invaluable when dealing with international
and governmental projects. Although the text was not designed to provide
answers to all estimating problems, it does provide a practical sequence and thorough
knowledge of cost estimating.

Most financial costs in this book are representative of US national average
costs in 1999. The costs are given for the purposes of problem solving and discussion
in estimating procedures, and, of course, they will vary with time and the
location of the building project. However, the principles, practices, and tech-
niques described here for estimating building costs will continue to apply regardless
of changes in the costs of materials, equipment, and labor.

The emphasis here is placed on several perspectives of building cost estimation,
ranging from an overview of estimating building costs such as types of
estimating and bidding procedures to a more detailed point of viewsuch as quantity
take-off and pricing for various Construction Specification Institute (CSI)
divisions, and discussions on overhead costs, taxes, and insurance. To serve as
a useful and effective reference, the contents of this book include 19 chapters as
follows.
