Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Construction Plant: Its Cost and Efficiency It has been a considerable time since my office commenced to gather the data that have been collated for this book, and during all of that period the manuscript sheets, and later the page proofs bound up for convenient handling, have been in almost daily use. Consequently many of the items have been used and verified; so that I have rather more confidence in the usefulness as well as the general accuracy of the material than if it had not passed through a fairly thorough period of seasoning. This time of seasoning has its disadvantages, however, as well as its benefits. Changing conditions in certain industries have affected prices, and a number of items have been radically revised in the making. It is to be expected, moreover, that the same-thing will continue; and as I have said in the introduction, page 3, these figures should be checked by actual bids where a plant is to be appraised, etc. In order to facilitate this, lists of the principal manufacturers of the plant described are given.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Cost Data for Contractors and Engineers: A Reference Book Giving Methods of Construction and Actual Costs of Materials and Labor on Numerous Engineering Works We also hear it argued that conditions vary so widely that grave errors occur when an attempt is made to apply published cost data. Those who have not been trained to study the conditions affecting costs are likely to make serious blunders in any case; but, if this book is in even a slight degree what it aims to be, it will be of greatest benefit to just such men; for it will indicate to them how to analyze costs and how to study methods of performing work economically.

It is to be expected, moreover, that the same thing will continue; and as I have said in the introduction, page 3, these figures should be checked by actual bids where a plant is to be appraised, etc. In order to facilitate this, lists of the principal manufacturers of the plant described are given. My principal reason for thinking that these notes would be useful to others is that I found them all but indispensable in my own practice, and not available in other form. My justification for the alphabetical method of classification is that this scheme admits of more rapid service on my desk than any other and I have attempted to supplement this arrangement by a very full index. For encouragement in this plan of procedure I am indebted to many of my engineering friends, who have aided by suggestions and useful criticisms. Finally, the keynote of the book has been practical utility to the man who has to buy, sell or use construction plant, or who needs to know what can be done with it. The existing facts in the shortest time on the reader's part, rather than interesting theory and clever comparisons have been kept most in mind. Because of this, a large wealth of material that would probably be of intense interest to the economist and the engineering student has been put aside for publication some time later if it seem desirable, but for which there is no space in this volume, which has grown to just double the size originally planned for it. A more general idea of the scope of the work, its field and its limitations may be found in the introductory chapter which follows this preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cost Keeping and Management Engineering: A Treatise for Engineers, Contractors and Superintendents Engaged in the Management of Engineering Construction This book is intended to assist engineers, contractors and superintendents in reducing construction costs to a minimum. To accomplish this it is necessary to understand the laws or rules of management, and to have daily reports that show the efficiency of the men and machines employed. That there are any scientific laws of management will be denied by many men of the old school, but such a denial cannot be logically maintained. If there is a science of psychology, there must be a science of management, for management is a mental process that follows certain definite laws, obscure and complex at times, but none the less definite when once they are understood. The Farady of the science of engineering management is Mr. Frederick W. Taylor, Past President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, for he not only perceived and applied certain of the fundamental laws of management, but, in his various papers, and particularly in his presidential address to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, gave definite verbal form to the laws he had discovered. In a subject so complex it is impossible for any one man to discover all the laws of management. Each student of the subject will be able to add his quota, until, in the course of the next few years, the science of engineering management will become as complete as any of the other younger sciences. We have spoken of the science of management as being a branch of the science of psychology. It is, and it is more. Engineering management involves not only the directing of the human agents engaged in production but the economic application of the forces of nature through the medium of machines. Hence engineering management postulates a knowledge of the physical sciences, and particularly the science of applied mechanics.
