Description
 
This thorough grounding in the principles of construction estimating offers readers the skills required to successfully perform the work of a professional estimator. Drawings for two complete projects—one residential and one commercial—lead users through the complete estimating process for each and forms a basic framework that can easily be applied to various trades on many different types of construction projects.

Look inside for these outstanding features:

  • All-new Timberline Precision Estimating software is included with the book, allowing readers to interact with the material for estimating as it is pursued in today's fully equipped estimating office.
  • A sample house project has a straightforward design that allows users to focus on the estimating method without getting side-tracked unraveling the details of a more complex structure.
  • The sample estimate for an office/warehouse building provides a step-by-step description of computer estimating using the Timberline Precision Estimating software that comes with the book.
  • End-of-chapter review questions help identify the major points of the chapter and provide an opportunity to work through practical problems that further develop estimating skills.
