Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensively revised take on practical construction estimation from a bygone era, where information was not as structured or readily available as today. It is a highly detailed guidebook that aims to teach the reader how to take off quantities from drawings and then price those quantities to arrive at the true cost of a structure. The author stresses the importance of doing one's own estimating, not relying on contractors to calculate costs, as well as taking the time to verify estimates by going through the steps of actually calculating the quantity of each item. The book covers a wide range of topics, from how to estimate the cost of preliminary work such as excavation to the purchase of timber. There are also sections on painting, plumbing, and gas fitting, along with a section on slating and galvanized iron work. The author's goal is to provide the reader with all the information necessary to estimate the true cost of a building project, and to some extent assist the reader in gaining a more critical eye for reviewing estimates from contractors. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
