Publisher's Synopsis
This book outlines the principles and practice of capital cost estimating with specific reference to the process industries. It emphasizes the basic principles, concepts, philosophy and techniques required, rather than specific numbers and data which are quickly out of date. It deals with the various types of estimates required, from feasibility studies to project completion.;The text is supported by illustrated examples and adopts a worldwide approach, particularly in relation to location factors and the estimating of capital projects in developing countries and remote areas of the world.;Although written specifically for estimating and cost control engineers, it is hoped that the text will also be useful at all levels of company management.
