A survey was undertaken of the losses or costs incurred in building contracts because of accidents on building sites. Altogether, 576 accidents from 18 building sites were investigated. On each site, an accident occurrence index (AOI) was calculated by dividing the total equivalent day loss by...

The preparation of cost estimates for construction projects is not an easy job, because construction projects are … available. However, the cost estimates prepared at this stage are usually the most important to the client. Nowadays, the costs … for building services installations contribute a significant share of the total construction cost of building projects …
