For junior/senior-level courses in Heavy Construction Estimating and Bidding, in Civil Engineering or Construction Management programs.

It is comprehensive enough to integrate the basic principles of cost estimating and bidding in one convenient volume, and it identifies the organizational and analytical processes involved in implementing these principles. Bartholomew focuses throughout on developing a competitive bid for acquiring a major heavy construction contract, to be performed under fixed price and time-commercial terms in today's competitive business environment.
