About Construction Management and Estimation
Construction management covers planning, scheduling, resource control, contracts, procurement, site organisation, safety, quality assurance and project documentation. Estimation includes quantity take-off, rate analysis, bill preparation, valuation and cost control, with attention to the difference between direct and indirect costs and between an estimate, a tender and a final account.
