Surveying and Mapping Engineering Supervision Science

Author: Kong Xiangyuan
Publisher: Wuhan University Press
Book Description:
This book focuses on surveying engineering supervision in construction projects, emphasizing the fundamental theories, techniques, and methods of supervision throughout the entire project lifecycle, from feasibility studies to production and operation. Building on an overview of basic construction project supervision knowledge, the book highlights three key controls (investment control, schedule control, and quality control) and two management aspects (contract management and information management) in supervision, along with organizational coordination. The book comprises 9 chapters.
Chapter 1 provides an overview, discussing the concepts of construction projects and management, the basis and measures for project supervision, the core content and organization of project supervision, and fundamental terms such as construction project management and surveying engineering supervision. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 delve into the three key controls of supervision, with Chapter 4 focusing on quality control. Chapters 5 and 6 cover contract management and information management, respectively.
In contract management, the book primarily explores tendering and bidding for construction projects, the formation, effectiveness, performance, amendment, and termination of contracts, dispute resolution, legal foundations, and related FIDIC principles. Information management introduces the concept of construction supervision information systems, their models, software development key points, and commonly used domestic and international supervision information management software. Chapter 7 addresses organizational coordination and communication in supervision. Chapter 8 includes practical examples of surveying engineering supervision to help readers understand real-world scenarios and improve their supervision skills. Chapter 9 compiles relevant laws and technical standards, serving as the foundational basis for supervision. The book concludes with 2002 national supervision engineer examination questions and answers for reference.
The book incorporates domestic and international achievements in construction project supervision, with theory closely tied to practice. Its content is concise, novel, and well-structured, making it suitable as a textbook for undergraduate surveying engineering majors in universities. It also serves as a reference for engineering technicians, managers, and surveying professionals.
