Engineering Valuation Perspectives On Sustainable Engineering Infrastructure For Accelerated Rural Development

Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in rural areas while infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities like buildings, roads, power supplies and the like needed for the operation of a society like rural communities. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the structures and facilities operate efficiently at optimum capacities for accelerated rural development. Engineering valuation places value on the facilities for possible replacement, maintenance and resale to avoid waste due to obsolescence. Thus engineering valuation of sustainable engineering infrastructure ensures accelerated rural development.
