This eleventh edition is thoroughly revised, extensively enlarged and completely modified. Each topic of the book has been arranged in such a way that reader is empowered with an in-depth knowledge in the subject of Estimating and Costing, Professional Practice, Quantity Surveying, Valuation etc. The book is divided in following three parts :
Part I
Part II
Part III
: Elements of Estimating and Costing
: Estimating and Costing in Practice
: Valuation.
Many new Specifications, Rate Analysis and Estimates of various engineering structures are added. One new chapter “Construction Management and Planning” is added, in which CPM technique, bar chart, material resources, material management, etc. are described in detail. Following three Appendix are also included at the end of the book :
Appendix II
Appendix III
Appendix IV
: contains Task Work Per Day as per Schedule of Rates.
: contains Load Carrying Capacity of a Truck and Calculation of Materials fo
different Items.
: contains Approximate Maximum Quantity of Steel Required per cu m of
Concrete for different R.C.C. items.
The estimates for R.C.C. work is revised using concrete grade M20 instead of grade M15 as per provision made in the latest IS:456 after earthquake 2001. Also rate analysis of corresponding R.C.C. items using grade M20 are added. Latest rates for materials are considered after enforcement of VAT (Value Added Tax) announced in budget 2006.
The book now contains :
* 66
* 97

It is hoped that the book will satisfy the needs of the Civil Engineering students preparing for the Degree examinations of almost all the Indian Universities, Diploma examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Education, Certificate courses as well as for the A.M.I.E., U.P.S.C., G.A.T.E. and other similar competitive and professional Examinations. It should also be of an immense help to the practising Civil Engineers.
