Reviews

"An easy book to read and understand… This book is an excellent introductory text to design and cost management in civil engineering. The clarity with which the principles are set out and the numerous worked examples and illustrations make this book an ideal textbook and a ‘must have’ for undergraduate civil engineering and quantity surveying students, as well as postgraduate civil engineering management students."
