It deals in a practical and reasonable way with many of the
estimating problems which can arise where building and civil
engineering works are carried out and to include comprehensive
estimating data within the guidelines of good practice. The early
part of the book has been completely rewritten to contain chapters
useful to students and practitioners alike for the development of
the estimating process resulting in the presentation of a tender
for construction works. The second and major part of the book
contains estimating data fully updated for the major elements in
building and civil engineering work, including a new chapter on
piling, and a wealth of constants for practical use in estimating.
The estimating examples are based on the current edition of the
Standard Method of Measurement for Building Works (SMM7). The
comprehensive information on basic principles of estimating found
in 'Spence Geddes' are still as valid today as the first edition.
In this edition the prevailing rates of labour and costs of
materials are taken whenever possible as a round figure. Readers
will appreciate in the construction industry that prices are
continually changing, rise and fall, and that worked examples
should therefore be used as a guide to method of calculation
substituting in any specific case the current rates applicable to
it. In the case of plant output dramatic increases have been
experienced in productivity over recent years and again estimators
with their own records should substitute values appropriate to
their work.
