This is a survey of methods of forecasting, planning and control of costs associated with the provision of new capital building works. The author introduces construction economics and examines the control of costs whilst a project is under construction, during the design process and looks at the significance of government legislation such as taxation to cost modelling. The work is illustrated with graphs and charts and also includes worked examples and a select bibliography. It is intended to be of value to students of quantity surveying at higher technician, degree or professional examination level, those studying architecture and building and as a useful reference for the practitioner in these fields.
