One of the most popular books on construction estimating. This recent revision includes a new chapter on conceptual cost estimating (the latest trend in this growing field), new material on computer applications, and new material on highway recycling costs. It's completely updated, too, with the most current material on cost data, references, and photographs.

Robert Peurifoy was a giant in the field of construction engineering and authored several books during his lifetime. This book last published in 1989 and will capitalize on the well-known name of the author. In this edition, computer calculations of costs and of modeling have been added as well as updated statistics, computer related examples and new problems. Civil, Environmental, and Construction Management Engineering Majors and Professionals will benefit from having this title on their shelf. This edition retains the conceptual strengths of the Peurifoy approach and organization from the previous edition but the new problems and computer-based examples and new up-to-date construction data make it the only choice in academia or industry.

In preparing the sixth edition of Estimating Construction Costs the author has retained the fundamental concepts of estimating that have made the book successful for many years. All of the example problems have been revised with more explanations regarding assumptions used in the calculations. This edition has reorganized and consolidated chapters to increase the clarity of the subject matter for the reader. Extensive new sections have been added on equipment, including graders equipped with GPS, and methods of calculating depreciation, investment, and operating costs of construction equipment. The computer estimating chapter is revised with additional material on the use of computers in preparing estimates for bidding purposes.

&nbsp;A completely updated guide to engineering and construction project management strategies This up-to-date guide presents the principles and techniques of managing engineering and construction projects--from the initial conceptual stage, to design and construction, all the way to completion. The book emphasizes project management during the beginning stages of project development to influence the quality, cost, and schedule of a project as early in the process as possible. This new edition has been reorganized to mirror the chronology of a real project. Project Management for Engineering and Construction: A Life-Cycle Approach, Fourth Edition addresses all project lifecycle phases and drills down to risk assessment and project document control at each phase. You will get complete coverage of early estimate classifications, budgeting specifications, work packaging, scheduling, contract administration, progress measurement systems, and much more. <ul> <li>Details the entirety of the lifecycle of a construction project from inception to completion</li> <li>Discusses the owner's team, the design engineer's team, and the construction team</li> <li>Written by a team of engineering and construction experts&nbsp;</li> </ul>
