This book provides a thorough understanding of the general principles of measurement for taking off quantities. An essential guide to any quantity surveyor, architrect or engineer Taking off quantities: Civil Engineering demonstrates, through a series of detailed worked examples from a range of civil engineering projects, how the measurement techniques are actually used.
This book was written to provide a quick guide to welding inspection that is easy to read and understand. It is difficult to find books specifically covering weld inspection requirements. This book will give you a basic understanding of the subject and so help you decide if you need to look further. In many cases the depth of knowledge required for any particular welding-related subject will be dependent on specific industry requirements. In all situations, however, the welding inspector's role is to ensure that welds have been produced and tested in accordance with the correct code specified procedures and that they are code compliant. Code compliance in this sense means that the weld meets all the requirements of the defect acceptance criteria specified within the code.
With house prices booming and a shortage of homes in the UK, the domestic housing sector of the industry is on the increase. This book has been written to respond to the increasing volume of work in the domestic housing market. More houses are being extended, converted and insulated than ever before and the maintenance market continues to provide ample work for most small to medium contractors. This surge of activity has created a demand for accurate cost information. Other building price books provide lists of most of the items encountered in building work but it is left to the user to assemble these items to represent each particular project. This book is unique in that it provides not only lists of fully priced-out standard items, but also collects and presents them into discrete sections covering 44 house extensions of different types and sizes, plus loft conversions. Written for all those involved in building traditional extensions or converting lofts, Spon's House Improvement Price Book, 2nd Edition provides detailed and reliable cost data in a style designed to save time without sacrificing accuracy. The book is an invaluable tool for the day to day work of building contractors, sub-contractors, plus building and quantity surveyors in both the public and private sectors.
The object of CESMM3 is to set forth the procedure according to which the Bill of Quantities shall be prepared and priced and the quantitie of work expressed and measured.
This fourth edition of the handbook has been specifically produced to be used alongside the new Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement, fourth edition - CESMM4. The handbook has been completely updated and includes new text to bring it in line with the changes and new material contained within CESMM4.
The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement is used as the standard for the preparation of bills of quantities in civil engineering work. This new edition brings the method into line with changes in industry practices and extends into new areas.
The ICE Conditions continues to be the dominant form of contract for civil engineering, despite the growing importance of the New Engineering Contract. The Seventh Edition of the ICE Conditions, published in 1999, introduced a number of changes, including: incorporating some of the concepts of the Latham Report amending certain provisions of the Sixth Edition which had attracted criticism rectifying conspicuous omissions from the text of earlier editions of the contract correcting small errors and faults from the previous edition modernising certain provisions and terms Brian Eggleston, whose previous book on the ICE Conditions was described as 'likely to become the authoritative reference source for the Sixth Edition', examines the contract clause by clause from a practical and legal viewpoint. There is extensive coverage of case law. Written by an experienced civil engineer and recognized authority on construction contracts, this book is an essential guide.
