Planning, Measurement and Control for Building

Planning, Measurement and Control for Building is an easy to read textbook that provides an overview of the process by which building projects are planned, priced and controlled.  Using three specific case studies (a speculative housing project, a small shop refit and a prestigious commercial development) the book illustrates the importance of the ‘paperwork’ side of the construction process, and shows how the various elements of design, estimating, tendering, and building contracts combine to deliver a successful project that meets the needs of clients and the appropriate regulations.
