ABSTRACT
Cost Studies of Buildings is about the understanding and application of costs to building and other structures. One of its aims is to ensure that scarce and limited resources are used to best advantage. It is about ensuring that clients receive the best value for money for the projects that they construct. As buildings have become more complex and clients have become better informed the techniques and tools available have become more extensive. The use of information technology has also provided a new array of possibilities particularly in the ease of modelling different design and construct solutions.
