Geomatics Engineering: A Practical Guide to Project Design
Hardcover: 296 pagesPublisher: CRC Press (Taylor and Francis)
About The Book
This book provides a practical guide to contemporary issues in geomatics professionalism, ethics, and design. It explores issues encountered during the project design and the request for proposal process commonly used for soliciting professional geomatics engineering services.
Ideal for students, land surveyors, and other related professionals, the book reflects the natural progression of project design considerations, including how the planning, information gathering, design, scheduling, cost estimating, and proposal writing fit into the overall scheme of project design process. It presents the details of contemporary issues such as standards and specifications, professional and ethical responsibilities, and policy, social, and environmental issues that are pertinent to geomatics engineering projects; and demonstrates the important considerations when planning or designing new projects.
An important lesson from the book is the proposal development process and how to put together a project cost estimate, including estimating quantities and developing unit and lump-sum costs.
