Key Principles in
Surveying
 Construction
is a complex industry, operating with ever changing legislative
needs, new materials and technologies, and constant demands on
resources.
Professionals are now expected to deliver a
broad spectrum of skills and competencies, and this new textbook
will help them achieve this.
Whilst other textbooks concentrate on
individual topics, this brings together the key principles and
operating practices of surveying and building engineering. It will
enable the practitioner of the future to appreciate the interface
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
