This book presents the theoretical background as well as best practice examples of estimating in heavy construction. The examples stem from practitioners in international large-scale construction projects. As distinct from other publications on estimating, this book presents specific numbers and costs are calculated precisely. In this way the book helps to avoid errors in the estimating of construction projects like roads, bridges, tunnels, and foundations.

One of the essential skills one must develop to succeed in the construction business is estimating. There are several factors that go into winning contracts at a buildable and profitable value, but the primary factor is an estimate that is well thought out and executed. Estimating is a combination of cost accounting, engineering skills, and the art of visualizing how things are built. With this in mind, the book will focus on the fundamentals and key processes that give an estimator the ability to dissect a project into quantities, work components, schedules, risks, etc. that allow an estimator to provide management with a competitive and buildable cost evaluation. This book-by a construction professional-focuses on estimating for the submittal of a firm or hard money bid on design-bid-build projects. Whether you're an engineering student, estimator, architect, professional engineer or construction professional, there are key fundamentals and processes presented that can be beneficial to you.

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.
