Civil Engineering Contracts & Estimates Book Information:

ering Contracts and Estimates, Fourth Edition, combines in a single book, two important sections of Civil EngineeringContracts and Estimates. The first edition was designed to serve as a textbook for engineering courses without any need for frequent changes. Improved contract conditions and management techniques were taken care of in the second edition. The use of FIDIC and other similar standard contract forms, particularly Public Private Partnership (PPP), construction of public works on build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis and other developments necessitated the third edition. In the present edition, the rates and costs have been updated to bring them on par with the rates prevailing in 201415. Online tendering has been included to bring the book up to date. The fourth edition contains everything that engineering faculty and students, as well as fresh engineers commencing their career in the field need know about the subject. Section I (Civil Engineering Contracts) presents an introduction to the legal aspects involved right from the tender stage up to planning. It also discusses project scheduling through management techniques such as PERT and CPM. Further, it furnishes useful information on the law of contracts, specifications and contract management. Section II (Civil Engineering Estimates) provides the basic framework which enables the reader to accurately estimate the costs of projects by using the method of measurement of works. A variety of projects are included such as residential construction and building of bridges. The new edition incorporates an estimate for a railway track. This book will prove useful not only for engineering students and faculty, but also to practicing engineers and architects. Market: 1. Students of Civil Engineering 2. Students of UG Architecture 3.
