I like that each chapter provides examples of what bill of quantities would look like based on the item of construction. So, the author took me through the main items of construction. From setting foundation to implementing fixtures and fittings. So, each chapter provided interesting details of what a quantity surveyor will consider under the major items of construction.

I was fascinated by some of the drawings, especially one with an old toilet. That illustration of the toilet reminded me of an old building that I used to live in.

Overall, it's a good read and it delivers enough information to understanding the work put in by a quantity surveyor.
