建筑工程估价（英文影印版）（第5版）

建设管理原是我国土木工程专业中重要的方向，许多土木类院系设有该专业，近年不少综合性大学也设置了该专业。随着我国加入WTO、中国企业角逐国际工程、国外建筑企业挤入中国市场，使得建设管理专业教育必须提供从内容到语言上能够与国际建筑业接轨的课程。.
鉴于这种趋势，清华大学出版社秉承在引进国外原版教材方面的领先地位，与全球高等教育出版巨擘——美国培生教育出版集团——合作，经过清华大学建设管理系专家评审，精选出这套“国外大学优秀教材——建设管理系列（影印版）”教材。..

　　The fifth edition continues to build on the strong foundation of the previous four editions. Computerized estimating software has become commonplace in most construction organizations. However, it is critical for all estimators to know and understand the math theory behind quantification. Without this knowledge, the estimator cannot utilize or fully understand computerized estimating or its output. This belief, coupled with the author's experience as a constructor and educator, has been the guiding premise in this book. This has been operationalized by presenting examples from a sample project, and then including a completed workup sheet. .
　　In this edition, as in the last, there is estimating software designed by Timberline Software Corporation. This CD contains Timberline's Basic Edition Trial software. There are problems at the end of most chapters that allow users to familiarize themselves with the estimating software. In addition, a number of blank spreadsheets that can be used with Excel 97 are included on the CD. These are included to give users a feel for how estimating can be performed using a spreadsheet program. Developing the formulas for these spreadsheets is helpful in reinforcing the math theory behind quantification.
　　Estimating in Building Construction, FiSh Edition, has a number of large commercial and residential drawings inserted as foldouts at the back of the book. These drawings are included to give the user the feel for what it is like to have to "dig" for the desired information. In addition, these drawings are the basis for all of the examples that are included in this book. ..
