The specialized book "Construction Costs" offers a comprehensive analysis of cost determination in the construction industry, particularly according to DIN 276. It is aimed at professionals in the construction sector who seek precise cost control and optimization in the early planning phases. Authors Rainer Schach and Wolfgang Sperling highlight the importance of early cost detection and its impact on construction projects. Given the growing relevance of turnkey construction and fixed-price agreements, the necessity for construction companies to engage with cost causation and influence becomes evident. This book is a valuable tool for builders, planners, and construction companies to better understand and manage the financial aspects of construction projects.
