About the author

Hou Lan is an author of practical textbooks on construction engineering. Public information about her is limited, and only two works can currently be confirmed: Engineering Settlement (4th Edition) and Exercises in Quantity Calculation (2nd Edition). Both titles center on the practical operation of project cost and construction drawing budgets. The former focuses on settlement procedures, pricing bases, and ways to handle common problems, while the latter uses exercises to help readers consolidate the rules and methods of quantity calculation. The two books are often classified under architecture and examinations, and are mainly used for vocational training, qualification exam review, and as supplementary material for related courses. Judging from these titles, Hou Lan's writing emphasizes the combination of code provisions and worked examples, with clear steps that lend themselves to hands-on checking, making the books suitable for beginners and exam candidates who need to practice quantity verification.
