A Textbook Of Estimating And Costing

The aim of the author’s persent attempt is to produce a book on “ESTIMATING AND COSTING & CIVIL DRAWINGS’’, which should fully meet the requirements of the students, preparing for the Diploma and Draftsman classes (Civil).

No doubt there are several books on this subject in the market, but it is a fact that no one exclusively satisfies in full, the need of the Engineering students.

The scheme of my book is very simple. I have started with the working out the quantities from an elementary stage. In my experience of teaching, I have noticed that it is difficult for the beginners to jump to the estimate of a building or a culvert without having the elementary knowledge of working out detailed quantities of various items. Hence, I have begun with the simple calculations of models and junctions of walls and then have passed on to the estimates of Buildings, Roads and Culverts etc.
