The book will effectively meet the needs of practitioners in the built environment discipline by providing the breadth of knowledge needed to make informed judgments on the many diverse matters within this subject and to achieve economical, sustainable construction.

The book reflects the essential aspects of construction economics required to meet the changing construction needs in the context of developing countries in the 21st century.

It covers

In the construction industry, cost indices, property valuation, and the developer's budget play a significant role achieving smart and sustainable construction in the 21st century. Principles of Basic Construction Economics in the 21st Century is essential reading not only for Quantity Surveying and Construction Economist practitioners and students but for all construction-related professionals such as architects, builders, estate surveyors, engineers, property managers, urban planners, and surveyors.
