Book excerpt: The application of Cost Engineering is both an art and a science and, although much can be gleaned from publications and internet sources, interaction with like-minded practitioners is an important part of maintaining and improving those skills. Cost engineers are usually a small group within the project team in most companies and this can limit opportunities for skills development. The reader is urged, as part of his or her continuing professional development, to meet regularly with and maintain contact with fellow practitioners who have skills in this area. The author acknowledges that he has received invaluable assistance and guidance in learning about applying those skills from his membership of the Australian Cost Engineering Society (a technical society of Engineers Australia). Several individuals have been particularly significant in the production of this book and they are credited in the Acknowledgements.
