Description: "Construction is a complex industry, operating with ever changing legislative needs, new materials and technologies, and constant demands on resources. This textbook brings together the key principles and operating practices of surveying and building engineering. It will enable the practitioner or the future to appreciate the interlace between both technical and procedural requirements, identifying barriers and conflicts." "The textbook is ideal for final year undergraduates in building surveying, construction management and quantity surveying, and will provide a core resource for the BSc(Hons) degree in building engineering developed in conjunction with the Association of Building Engineers. It will also provide a handy quick-reference for practitioners, drawing as it does on a wealth of experience, both academic and professional, from the author team."--BOOK JACKET.
