Having worked in industrial and academic environments in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, Dr. Andrew Whyte, head of the civil engineering department at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, has gained a wide-ranging knowledge of construction management, design team integration, whole-life assessment of structures, and asset development using local technologies and low-cost and sustainable methods.
"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."
