Book excerpt: The study of building costs is no longer restricted to the analysis of tenders, final accounts and capital cost prediction. Athough these areas remain important, the study has moved towards whole life costs and a more holistic approach. This relates costs not just to space but also to the activities undertaken in that space. This new third edition of Cost Studies of Buildings has been extensively revised and restructured to reflect this trend. It provides a practical guide to the different methods of forecasting, planning and controlling costs associated with building works, as well as analysing the economics of efficient and effective use of buildings, space, plant and equipment.
