Description

Estimating isn't always an easy job. Sometimes snap decisions can produce negative long-term effects.

This book was designed by the American Society of Professional Estimators as a set of standards to guide professional estimators. It's intended to help every estimator develop estimates that are uniform and verifiable. Every step that should be included in the estimate is listed, as well as aspects in the plans to consider when estimating a job and what you should look for that may not be included. The result should help you produce more consistently accurate estimates.

Excerpt from the Foreword
The American Society of Professional Estimators is proud to present its Standard Estimating Practice, Sixth Edition. It has been developed and written by the members of the Standards Board of the American Society of Professional Estimators and of the society. It is written in the language of estimators to provide not only basic and fundamental guidance for estimators, but also to define industry recognized standards that are the basis for certification of experienced estimators as Certified Professional Estimators.

This manual is developed for use as an educational tool to be used in the training of new estimators, to provide a foundation for future ASPE publications on estimating, and as a guide to the format and content of construction cost estimates.
