a must have for Interior Designers

I bought this book for an Interior Design class and have kept it. It is a great book for giving estimates for all amounts of products you may need for any design product!

Like an Estimating for dummies book! Seriously a great book!

I love this book, the pictures are a little dated, but the information you get from it helps a lot! I learned what I need to know about estimating everything from paint, floor coverings to curtains and duvets. It's everything you need to know about estimating for the Interior Design world and to verify contractors work estimates! Great 5 STARS!

I'am looking for a book that has it all for estimating from floor finishing to window treatment and all the way to bedcovers and table clothes. And this book came up to me.

Great estimating guide

Good for people just entering the interior design business, where they're unsure of how to estimate costs for various items. This takes you through it all, pretty much step-by-step. It's complete with diagrams and examples of schedules that you'd write up to pass on to painters, tilers, and the like. The only disadvantage is that I have to translate all the measurements, as they're all in yards and feet.
