Great little book.
This is a great little book. I'm studying Quantity Surveying at Uni and it covers lots of the aspects we are learning.
Duncan Cartlidge also happens to be one of my lecturers.

Review of QS pocket book
need quite large pockets for this book, but it's packed with brief explanations and descriptions of the core techniques involved in the QS process.
