Code of Estimating Practice

The Code of Estimating Practice provides the authoritative guide to the essential principles and best practice in construction estimating, from preselection to the acceptance of a successful tender.

The sixth edition has been completely rewritten and updated to incorporate many new issues which are now regarded as integral parts of good estimating practice for main and specialist trade contractors. An important aspect of the estimator's work is to describe those factors affecting the cost of a project and to identify areas of risk for consideration by management at the final review stage. The Code of Estimating Practice illustrates such matters with priced examples and demonstrates how the estimate and tender are produced.

The Code of Estimating Practice is a key reference source for those members of the construction team who are involved with the production and use of an estimate. It will also be a useful resource for all students of construction.
