In the book, the standard service descriptions according to DIN 276 that are relevant for shell construction are presented in detail. Notes and individual examples within the standard performance descriptions also draw the user's attention to important points to be observed when tendering. Following each standard service description, construction prices are given for the individual items, which, when the specified correction factors are taken into account, provide a very good and verifiable indication of the costs incurred per item. In addition, the comprehensive company directory provides the corresponding manufacturers for the products that are put out to tender. This makes it much easier to establish contact.
