pedagogical features, new learning outcomes, and key learning
points that relate the material specifically to the RICS Assessment
of Professional Competence (APC). Historically employed to estimate
and measure the likely material requirements for any building
project, the role of the modern quantity surveyor is diverse and
dynamic, with rapid change featuring across quantity surveying
practice. The book echoes this dynamic environment, covering
quantity surveying in private practice, public service, and in
contracting organizations. Readers will also find: In-depth
discussions of the use of IT in construction New and improved
teaching and instruction features in the text, including new
learning outcome sections and key learning points to highlight
crucial concepts Tighter alignment with the requirements of the

Added Value in Design and Construction takes a holistic,
student-centred approach to offering public and private sector
clients the ultimate reward; doing more for less. The Latham Report
was a call to action and this book provides students of
construction with the theoretical and practical knowledge to
deliver the recommendations of the report. It describes the
principles and techniques crucial to adding value and reducing
costs in design and construction in the twenty first century. This
book examines in detail a wide range of strategies that can be
applied during the design and construction process to add value and
bring the best interests of the client sharply into focus.
This practical guide to cost studies of buildings has been updated
and revised throughout for the 6th edition. New developments in
RICS New Rules of Measurement (NRM) are incorporated throughout the
book, in addition to new material on e-business, the internet,
social media, building information modelling, sustainability,
building resilience and carbon estimating. This trusted and easy to
use guide to the cost management role: Focuses on the importance of
costs of constructing projects during the different phases of the
construction process Features learning outcomes and self-assessment
questions for each chapter Addresses the requirements of
international readers From introductory data on the construction
industry and the history of construction economics, to recommended
methods for cost analysis and post-contract cost control, Cost
Studies of Buildings is an ideal companion for anyone learning
about cost management.

Civil Engineering Contractual Procedures gives an introduction to
the contractual procedures, legislation and administrative
practices that are used in the civil engineering industry. It
introduces the principles of contract law, and the main forms of
contract used in the construction industry. It then concentrates on
the main forms of contract used in civil engineering, with the
discussion based on the ICE Conditions of Contract. It looks at the
obligations of the various parties to the contract under all the
clauses of the contract. Civil Engineering Contractual Procedures
provides a sound basis for anyone seeking an understanding of the
contractual administration of civil engineering projects. It is an
essential core text for all students of civil engineering and
related courses at both undergraduate and higher technician levels.
It will also be a useful reference source for those already working
in the industry.
