Features: This book is one of the "Applied Undergraduate University Planning Textbooks for Civil Engineering" series, primarily focusing on the fundamental principles, procedures, and methods of construction cost estimation. Through the study of this course, students in applied undergraduate universities will acquire the basic theories and calculation methods of construction cost estimation, become familiar with engineering pricing standards, and be able to apply cost estimation principles to determine and control costs during the decision-making stage, design stage, and construction stage of general civil engineering projects. Additionally, they can prepare project completion decisions, control post-completion costs, and establish construction costs with the help of computer-aided tools, thereby managing the entire cost estimation process. The book covers the following topics: Overview of Construction Cost Estimation, Composition of Construction Costs, Basis for Cost Estimation, Preparation of Budget Costs for Civil Engineering, Preparation of Budget Costs for Decoration Engineering, Preparation of Budget Costs for Installation Engineering, Preparation of Budget Costs for Municipal Engineering, Settlement and Final Accounts of Construction Cost Estimation, Construction Cost Management, and Construction Cost Software. At the end of the book, there is a case study on construction cost estimation prepared in accordance with the "Code for Bill of Quantities and Pricing of Construction Projects." The book has a complete system, comprehensive content, clear logic, rich cases, and difficulty suitable for both undergraduate students of civil engineering and engineering management, as well as serving as a reference for engineering economic management personnel.
