Description:
With over 45 years of experience in contracting, managing and estimating electrical
projects, the author has compiled literally thousands of installation labor rates used in
everyday electrical estimating procedures in this easy-to-use manual. These labor rates
complement the instructional portion of this manual. Written in simple, easy-to-digest
construction language, the author shows how to:
- Develop a complete reliable and competitive
estimate using the blueprints, specifications,
spreadsheets and forms that are included in the back of this manual.
- Estimate all costs on an electrical
construction project.
- Follow up and manage costs once the project
is underway.
- Use itemized estimates to reduce overhead
expenses.
- Bring off a successful project on time and
budget, without sacrificing quality.
Many professional estimator's guides are
like door stops, filled with cumbersome and dreaded "refer to page number x" and
"see note y." They are not user friendly or easily referenced. With it's larger
font size and larger format for easy viewing and it's comb binding, so that it will stay
open and lay flat on an engineer's desktop or on the technician's sawhorse or truck hood,
this manual is the optimal choice when deciding which reference material to use.
Included with this book is a CD,
containing all of the spreadsheets and forms that estimators need on a daily basis. Just
download them onto your hard drive and print them out. Use them time and again for all
your electrical estimating projects.
