Summary:

Cost Engineering books top the list of boredom-in-print. Procedural, particular, specific, and uninspiring -- which is where "Computer-Organized Cost Engineering" stands apart. The tools of the profession are exhibited with the underlying conviction that cost realism is the ultimate proof of technological knowledge. To cost and appraise a project, you must have a good grasp of what it entails. Unlike most text books on the subject that home on the definitive end, this treatise emphasizes the techniques for estimating early, when the details are not known, when the particulars are not identified. It is then when a project proponent needs a credible answer to the question of his funding source: how much? "Computer-Organized Cost Engineering" homes on the principles of the profession, and in that sense it's timeless. It serves as a robust foundation for subsequent books by the author advancing the art and science of determining cost-to-complete, and time-to-finish of high-stake technological projects.
