The late Robert Peurifoy was a giant in the field of construction engineering. In this latest edition of one of his many books, computer calculations of costs and of modelling have been added as well as updated statistics, computer related examples and new problems. Civil, environmental and construction management engineering majors and professionals will benefit from having this title on their shelf. The conceptual strengths of the Peurifoy approach and organisation are retained from the previous edition, but the new problems and computer-based examples and new up-to-date construction data make it the only choice in academia or industry.
