Find Practical Solutions to Civil Engineering Design and Cost
Management Problems A guide to successfully designing, estimating,
and scheduling a civil engineering project, Integrated Design and
Cost Management for Civil Engineers shows how practicing
professionals can design fit-for-use solutions within established
time frames and reliable budgets. This text combines technical
compliance with practical solutions in relation to cost planning,
estimating, time, and cost control. It incorporates solutions that
are technically sound as well as cost effective and time efficient.
It focuses on the integration of design and construction based on
solid engineering foundations contained within a code of ethics,
and navigates engineers through the complete process of project
design, pricing, and tendering. Well illustrated The book uses
cases studies to illustrate principles and processes. Although they
center on Australasia and Southeast Asia, the principles are
internationally relevant. The material details procedures that
emphasize the correct quantification and planning of works,
resulting in reliable cost and time predictions. It also works
toward minimizing the risk of losing business through cost blowouts
or losing profits through underestimation. This Text Details the
Quest for Practical Solutions That: Are cost effective Can be
completed within a reasonable timeline Conform to relevant quality
controls Are framed within appropriate contract documents Satisfy
ethical professional procedures, and Address the client's brief
through a structured approach to integrated design and cost
management Designed to help civil engineers develop and apply a
multitude of skill bases, Integrated Design and Cost Management for
Civil Engineers can aid them in maintaining relevancy in
appropriate design justifications, guide work tasks, control costs,
and structure project timelines. The book is an ideal link between
a civil engineering course and practice.
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) of built-asset waste materials and
respective sustainable waste-disposal options are increasingly
important for an industry that generates a significant proportion
of all matter sent to landfill. Legislation-push from the
aggregates levy and landfill restrictions, together with
technology-pull from modern re-use and recycling techniques, will
continue to exert pressure on recycling rates for construction
waste and demolition materials. To recognise the potential of
construction and demolition waste as a resource, guidance is
needed. This book presents a guide to determining sustainable
options for the reduction, re-use, recycling and disposal of
demolition waste, and provides essential information related to:
the background variables influencing the waste management of
construction demolition waste; an assessment procedure setting-out
a method for determining sustainable disposal options; and, an
examination of the sub-divisions of demolition waste and respective
waste management routes in terms a Triple-Bottom-Line (TBL)
analysis of environmental impact, financial cost and social
safeguard legislation.

A framework to assist life-cycle costing analysis (LCCA) of
building is increasingly important in today's construction
industry, as designers strive for sustainability in the creation
and maintenance of built assets. Three fundamental stages in
modelling relative to the whole-cost of building are important:
(i)the description of the inter- relationship of the factors that
make up life-cycle costing; (ii)the conceptual LCCA model
framework; and, (iii)the implementation of the LCCA model into a
central encyclopaedia of information held within an over-arching
design data-base. This work concentrates on the initial two stages,
analysing the inter-relationship of life-cycle factors; this is the
necessary antecedent to proceed towards the realisation of an LCCA
model for inclusion into an overall design tool to facilitate
building- information-modelling (BIM). A life-cycle cost analysis
framework is presented, as an essential part of a design model to
support decision-making and BIM for building design and
construction processes.
