First, learn to read pictures. It is recommended to look at architectural drawings. As soon as I came up, I saw that cost control was too abstract. Only by learning to read drawings can we work out the quantities.

You should also know the structure. The scope of civil engineering is relatively wide. If you mainly do houses, you can learn the structure of houses. If the municipal government can learn the structure of roads and bridges, you should also learn the general building structure. . .

After you learn to read pictures, you will be familiar with the calculation rules. You can learn to calculate by reading the quota, and you can also read some auxiliary books on the rules of engineering quantity calculation, which is very helpful for understanding. . .

After learning the calculation of completed quantities, I will continue to learn pricing. You should be familiar with all kinds of fees, rates and so on. To understand this, you need to find out the source of some expenses and the calculation method of these expenses, such as taxes and fees. There are five kinds in some places, and some places are more or less ~ ~ You have to figure these out ~ ~

In short, learning should be gradual. It will be more helpful for you to enter the construction site for a period of time when you start to learn to calculate the engineering quantity ~ ~ You should also learn to apply the cost software ~ ~

I recommend you to read Architectural Drawing and Architectural Structure published by Chongqing University ~ ~
