Construction Quantity Surveying: A Practical Guide for the Contractor's QS, 2nd Edition aims to provide readers with a practical guide to quantity surveying from a main contractor s perspective. Following a brief introduction, the book s early chapters do cover measurement methodology, including SMM7, NRM and CESMM, and then focus on the contractor s business, with the rest of the chapters discussing commercial and contractual management of a construction project, including day-to-day running from commencement through to completion, in a highly practical way. The book demonstrates that quantity surveying is not limited to the measurement of trade works, but is in fact a dynamic and central part of the overall management of construction projects.
