Features: This book is one of the "Applied Undergraduate University Planning Textbooks for Civil Engineering" series, focusing on the basic principles, procedures, and methods of construction cost estimation. Through this course, students in applied undergraduate universities will gain fundamental theories and calculation methods of construction cost estimation, become familiar with engineering valuation standards, and apply cost estimation principles to determine and control costs during the decision-making stage, design stage, and construction stage of general civil engineering projects. They will also be able to prepare (completion decision) and control post-completion costs, as well as establish construction cost estimates using computer-aided tools to manage costs throughout the entire process. The book covers the following topics: an overview of construction cost estimation, the composition of construction costs, the basis for cost estimation, the preparation of budget cost estimates for civil engineering, decoration engineering, installation engineering, and municipal engineering, the settlement and final accounts of construction cost estimation, construction cost management, and construction cost estimation software. At the end of the book, there is a case study of construction cost estimation prepared in accordance with the "National Engineering Bill of Quantities (NBQ) Valuation Specification." The book has a complete system, comprehensive content, clear logic, rich case studies, and difficulty levels suitable for various audiences. It can serve as a textbook for civil engineering students, a reference for engineering management students, or a working tool for engineering economics professionals.
