I recently bought this book to help me write up estamates, it has proved very helpful, especially the program that comes with it. I would recomend this book to any one who is in the construction bussiness, I plan on buying 2 more of the books by this author.
Estimating made easy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I must admit that I was hesitant when I started reading this book. It wasn't by choice, but by necessity that I became pleasantly surprised by Marques' wonderful narrative and witty reportoire on what could and should have been a dry subject. Oh, the reason I read the book was for work - and I increased my sales by 75% the first month after reading it. Thank you!
Good coverage of residential construction costs.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Good coverage of labor and material costs for residential construction plus about 200 pages of costs for light commercial work. Intended primarily for the professional estimator, not do-it-yourself builders. Unlike other building cost references, descriptions are complete -- explains what's included and excluded in each estimate. CD in the back includes all costs in this 450-page book plus a good, professional-quality estimating program(!).
