Estimating and Costing in Civil Engineering - Theory and Practice (28th Edition)

Estimating and Costing in Civil Engineering: Theory and Practice (28th Edition)
By B.N. Dutta

First published in 1959 and now in its 28th edition, this is one of the longest-running standard texts for estimating and costing in Indian civil engineering education. Complete in both theory and practice, it covers the syllabi of degree, diploma, certificate, and draftsman courses, and is built around departmental practice and ISI specifications. Alongside the core subject matter it includes technical data, conversion tables, and a large number of practical drawings and plates useful for civil engineering drawing and design work — making it as much a working reference for practicing engineers as a student textbook.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Procedure of estimating
• Analysis of rates
• Specifications for civil works
• Detailed estimates for building, RCC, and other works
• Valuation
• P.W.D. accounts and procedure for works
• Steel tables and technical data
• Planning and design of civil works

Key features:

• Nearly seven decades in continuous print, now in its 28th edition
• Combines estimating and costing theory with specifications and valuation in one volume
• Extensive practical drawings, plates, and reference tables
• Long treated as a "lifelong companion" reference by practicing engineers and architects
• Covers degree, diploma, certificate, and draftsman-level syllabi

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering students studying estimating, costing, and valuation
• Diploma and certificate-course students in construction-related trades
• Practicing engineers and architects needing a working cost-reference
• Anyone preparing detailed specifications or rate analyses for civil works
