Intended for engineers, managers, and upper-level graduate students in engineering, this practical reference offers coverage of each step in the engineering cost control process, from project justification to life-cycle costs. The 24 contributions are divided into three sections: estimating project costs (including estimating methodology for various costs and analysis of productivity, cash flow, and location); evaluating risk and returns (encompassing risk, contingency, and profitability analysis; and investment decision-making); and controlling project costs (covering cost control systems and controlling specific costs such as equipment, materials, construction labor, quality, safety, and shipping; applying the principles of value engineering; and avoiding claims). Includes some 230 drawings, tables, and equations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
