Finds that experience to date suggests that for civil engineering works activity schedules are most appropriate but that for minor civil engineering works where there is only a risk of a small change in quantities and for building work where only minor changes are likely to take place bills of quantities are preferable.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
