Quantity surveying precontract administration by Fanie Buys
Following on the success of Prof. FanieBuys’s first book that provided workedexamples to the measuring of buildingwork of a single residential building, thisbook entitled Quantity surveying, precontractadministration builds on hisprevious work by utilising a three-storeyreinforced concrete structure building asthe basis for the worked examples.Prof. Buys takes the reader through the key components of thequantity surveyor’s cost advice roles at pre-contract stages, including: establishing early estimates of project cost, assessing the feasibility of the project, refining the estimate through elemental analysis as more design and specification information becomes available, and producing and pricing the full Bills of Quantities for project procurement. It takes one through the whole thought process of coming up with a cost of proposed building works from inception to completion. It has very detailed drawings, including window, door and finishes schedules that give more details and facilitate the job of the estimator to provide a better estimate.The book will serve as an extremely useful resource for quantity surveying students, lecturers and candidate quantity surveyors needing to develop and/or enhance their fundamental understanding of the process of measurement and the associated standard documentation processes in estimates, feasibility studies and Bills of Quantities.
