Industrialised Building Systems (IBS) in Malaysian construction industry / Dr Hjh Hamimah Adnan and Nor Azmi Ahmad Bari

This study focuses on cost estimating techniques which commonly used by Quantity Surveyor and factors that influencing the construction cost in the Malaysian construction industry. Early stage cost estimating is one of the most important activities during project planning. Every project begins it...

Early stage cost estimating is one of the most important activities during project planning. Every project begins its life from concepts proposed by the owner and refined by the designers.
