This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Accounting for General Contractors There are many excellent text books on general account ing and every manufacturing industry Of any size and complexity has an accounting literature of its own. But little if anything Of a comprehensive nature has been written about a system of accounting to fit the needs Of the con tractor. This lack is the more noteworthy for two reasons First, practically all building and construction work is carried out by estimate and contract and the size and importance of the business are self-evident; secondly, the basis Of accuracy in estimating depends upon accurate records and therefore the contractor even more than the manufacturer needs all the help that is to be obtained from a complete system Of accounts. The need for a comprehensive work on accounting for contractors was brought home to the author some years ago when engaged to take charge Of the accounting depart ment Of a large contracting concern. The faults of the system of records in use were many and glaring; the remedy had to be devised to fit the needs Of the case. After a period Of close Observation and experiment a system Of accounts and accounting control was evolved which ful filled the essential requirements by giving the contractor the information he required for the management Of his business promptly and at a time when he could make use Of it. This book in part contains a description Of the system to which is added a discussion Of the methods and account ing practice that have become the standard practice in those contracting businesses where adequate records are kept.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Management Applied to Construction Andrew Carnegie is credited with saying that if he had to lose his plants or his organization, he would prefer to lose the former; for they could be replaced more quickly than his organization. This is especially true of contracting. The building Of an organization for this work means years of effort. Contractors just starting in the' business quickly realize this; the Older men in the field know that hundred per cent efficiency in any contracting organization is seldom reached. The principles of modern management should leave nothing for chance to decide. Therefore, the successful contractor Of today must break away from Old inefficient methods and practise modern ways. TO do this calls for real leadership. In mechanical lines much has been done to try out this new leadership - to adopt scientific management and establish new standards for a greater efficiency in manufacturing. It has been thought that these principles, so successfully applied in the manufacturing field, are not applicable to engineering and architectural construction. This idea, however, has been proven erroneous by the successful work Of those pioneers in the contracting field. The author's experience as a construction economist covering the past decade has taught him that scientific management is applicable to construction - he has applied and is applying the principles of such management with a fair degree Of success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contractors and Builders' Handbook The third book is given over to subjects that are specially interesting to the building fraternity, and yet are of a broader scope than anything dealing with strictly technical work would be. There are no men who can help to fight the terrific fire waste better than builders, and it is necessary to keep them acquainted with the actual situation that is a disgrace to the United States. The educational chapters will be found interesting and useful. There is no good reason why the building business, in one branch or another, should pay such a heavy proportion of taxes and get such little recognition from the high school and library authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering and Contracting, Vol. 52: Devoted to the Economics of Civil Engineering Design and to Methods and Costs of Construction; July December, 1919 The Top or Bituminous Course - This brings us to the bituminous macadam itself, the materials of which are the stone and the bitumen. The broken stone should not be so soft as to crush under the roller so as to fill the voids before the bitumen is ap plied. When this occurs the bitumen does not fill the voids, and from such spots slack of bitumen there may arise two bad results. There may be a wave, due to the surplus of bitumen on top because it could not penetrate down into the stones, or there may be a breaking up of the surface because the stones have nothing to bind them together. The best results are obtained when hard rocks are used, such as trap rocks. There are many localities where it is impossible to get trap rock or stone with a coefficient of wear sufficiently high to obtain. Results required. In such cases bituminous macadam should not be laid. For ordinary traffic such as exists on most of the main through state roads bituminous macadam can be laid economically, provided broken stone has a coefficient of not less than about 15, and provided the bitumen is of suitable quality. The size of the broken stone should be 114 to or 3 in., according to the thick ness of the course. A top course 2 in. Thick may be obtained with the -in. Stone, while a Sin. Course may' be obtained with the larger size. If the traffic is very heavy it is better to lay the thicker course with the larger stones.

Download or read book Measuring Construction written by Rick Best and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the size, complexity and importance of the construction industry, there has been little study to date which focuses on the challenge of drawing reliable conclusions from the available data. The accuracy of industry reports has an impact on government policy, the direction and outcomes of research and the practices of construction firms, so confusion in this area can have far reaching consequences. In response to this, Measuring Construction looks at fundamental economic theories and concepts with respect to the construction industry, and explains their merits and shortcomings, sometimes by looking at real life examples. Drawing on current research the contributors tackle: industry performance productivity measurement construction in national accounts comparing international construction costs and prices comparing international productivity The scope of the book is international, using data and publications from four continents, and tackling head on the difficulties arising from measuring construction. By addressing problems that arise everywhere from individual project documentation, right up to national industrial accounts, this much-needed book can have an impact at every level of the industry. It is essential reading for postgraduate construction students and researchers, students of industrial economics, construction economists and policy-makers.
