Download or read book Essentials of Heavy Construction Estimating written by Lance Destwolinski and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the essential skills one must develop to succeed in the construction business is estimating. There are several factors that go into winning contracts at a buildable and profitable value, but the primary factor is an estimate that is well thought out and executed. Estimating is a combination of cost accounting, engineering skills, and the art of visualizing how things are built. With this in mind, the book will focus on the fundamentals and key processes that give an estimator the ability to dissect a project into quantities, work components, schedules, risks, etc. that allow an estimator to provide management with a competitive and buildable cost evaluation. This book-by a construction professional-focuses on estimating for the submittal of a firm or hard money bid on design-bid-build projects. Whether you're an engineering student, estimator, architect, professional engineer or construction professional, there are key fundamentals and processes presented that can be beneficial to you.

Download or read book Construction Estimating written by Leonard P. Toenjes and published by Amer Technical Pub. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimating is an integral part of the construction process, and may be performed at various stages of a project. Conceptual estimates are general in nature, and require the least amount of data. They are used to determine the feasibility of a project. Design Development estimates require up to 40% of documentation to be complete, and thus provide a partial picture of total project costs. Construction Estimating focuses on Detail Takeoff estimates. Detail Takeoff estimates account for each individual construction component (or takeoff) and are the most accurate type of construction estimate. Construction Estimating provides information about Detail Takeoff estimating techniques, as well as information about construction products, materials, and processes to prepare the estimator to actively participate in the design process. The text includes an appendix with helpful charts, worksheets and metric conversion tables.
