ABSTRACT
More details on cost breakdowns are included in Chapter 15. Some engineering and construction firms, as well as some of the computer
programs in the market, carry the breakdown to the level of nuts and bolts (square feet of forms, pounds of rebar, field welds and bolt-ups, individual instruments, etc.). That level· of detail might be important to some nitpicking acco'untant or perhaps to an efficiency expert in the field, but has no use for the Owner's Project Manager interested in the overall picture.
