Estimating Concrete Buildings (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimating Concrete Buildings The actual procedure of concrete construction is still very far from approximating standard practice. Still less has there emerged any generally accepted system for keeping track of the individual cost of the innumerable items that enter into this type of work. Hence no satisfactory basis has been supplied for making estimates in advance of the actual undertaking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
