1.0 INTRODUCTION
This unit introduces learners to the principles and application of
management as they relate to the technical and professional
disciplines of construction, civil engineering and building
services engineering.

After going through this unit, you will be able to:
NOTES
During the construction process, budget tracking methods are used to retrieve
actual construction expenses from construction operations. This data is then
used for cost control purposes on the current project and for estimating the cost
of upcoming projects. Additionally, the cost system offers considerable data
pertinent to project financial control. This chapter discusses cost-estimating
techniques and how the final project budget is achieved.

unsophisticated process. The absence of any considerable
standardization together with a countless of unique site and
project circumstances make the advance computation of exact
construction expenses a matter more of accident than plan.
NOTES using cost
However, a skilled and experienced estimator,
accounting data gleaned from previous construction work of a
related nature, can do a reliable job of predicting construction
payments despite the project imponderables usually involved.
The character or position of a construction project occasionally
presents sole problems, but some basic values for which there is
precedent almost always apply.

2.1 UNIT OBJECTIVES
Devising an overall job plan and time schedule may start with a
study of project necessities. This training will enable an estimate
to be made of the times necessary to achieve each of the major
job sections. Next, the order in which these sections must
proceed is recognised. The result is a bar chart series of bars
plotted in contradiction of a horizontal time scale showing the
accomplishment date of the overall project and the estimated
