Synopsis

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.
