From the Preface
How sure are you about your numbers when signing a contract? Lots of people today learn by making mistakes, but this is dangerous. By improving the way you estimate jobs, you could increase your profit margin significantly.

"We know how to estimate. It's just that, when the job starts, we are short of labor." Does this sound familiar? It's time for a change. This book was written to introduce a clean approach toward estimating and bidding, and is filled with page after page of estimating tips, checklists, worksheets, and data tables. It walks you through each step of the process for obtaining opportunities, defining a complete scope, quantity take-off and pricing, proposal preparation and submission, contract negotiation, and change order procedures.

This is not just a book on how to count lighting fixtures or measure conduit lengths. It is aimed to help you get the job you want and make the money you want!
