Review: This book is for young civil engineers and civil engineering students who want to know how to prepare final documents, a practical skill that is often omitted from civil engineering courses. It is organized into four parts. The first discusses how construction drawings, specifications, cost estimates fit into the overall scheme of a set of bid documents. The second part deals with the details and mechanics involved in preparing a set of construction drawings for a civil design project. Part 3 looks at the preparation of technical specifications, with emphasis on the US Construction specification Institute (CSI) format. Part 4 shows how to prepare cost estimates, including estimating quantities and developing unit and lump-sum prices.
