Estimating in Heavy Construction: Roads Bridges Tunnels Foundations

Estimating in Heavy Construction: Roads Bridges Tunnels Foundations 

Jacob, Dieter

Preference :

In contrast to building construction, there are only a few available English books on estimating in heavy construction projects, such as roads, bridges, and specialized foundation engineering works for buildings. This book is based on our German estimating book, in which we have collected German examples. 
These real projects can also be applied to the international market. The estimating is based on specific construction methods that are dependent on the boundary conditions, the machinery available, and the quality and training of personnel. Be aware that estimating is always a stochastic process and cannot deliver a deterministic result. Reliable estimating is not only important for a contractor but also for a professional-client who wants to have a rough overview of his cost situation, especially in civil engineering and underground construction. This is expensive, complicated work, and one cannot simply measure square or cubic meters of living space as in standardized building engineering. One only has to think of related significant cost overruns in a few recent large-scale projects to understand the need for a publication written exclusively for heavy construction estimating.
