A cost engineer cannot operate effectively without a deep understanding of time as a resource. Cost and schedule are intrinsically linked through resource loading and time-dependent metrics.
Cost engineering is about more than just tracking expenses; it’s about predicting the future of a project. Mastering the content within the 6th edition equips you with the technical authority to lead projects to successful completion.
Implementing iterative processes to plan, measure, analyze, and control project data. 2. Cost Estimating and Budgeting
