Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimating Building Costs Learning to estimate buildings is not quite the same as learning a language, but it is often better to begin with a little book rather than a large one. This is a small book as compared with The New Building Estimator, of which twelve edi tions were issued up to date, but will be of great service to thousands who might at first consider the larger work too comprehensive. This book will act as a feeder to the other. An endeavor has been made here to present facts in plain language. I gained my knowledge of estimating through experience; but on looking back I can see how much time and guesswork would have been saved had I simply had a small reliable manual to give a fair idea of what others had accomplished in a certain number of hours; and what amount of material is required for the different parts of a building.

This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders' Reliable Estimator and Contractors' Guide: A Complete Guide for Pricing All Builders' Work It is the fate of books on estimating for builders that they soon become somewhat unreliable, no matter how exact they may have been when first published. This is due to various reasons, - the continual fluctuations in the prices of labor, changes and introduction of new mate rials, new methods oi construction and style of building. Since this book was first published, the changes made in the cost of labor and in the selling price of material have been wonderful, and it may be said that buildings today are fully twenty-eight per cent more costly than they were when this book was first published. Recently prices have risen so high and at such a rate, that it has been found difficult to keep in touch with them. For three or four years past, contractors have either made or lost a lot of money, for they either have run up big prices, or, in sticking to conservative figures, have suffered losses to a considerable amount.

Download or read book Construction Estimating written by Karl F. Schmid and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pocket-sized book is a concise guide to the basics of estimating construction costs for residential and light commercial building projects. It provides a step-by-step guide to estimating the total cost of a construction project. It takes readers through five phases that lead to a successful estimate: initial assessment, work analysis, programming, costing and cost distribution and summarization. The book's primary targets are small contractors; however, the principles set forth in the book are applicable to all contractors. The book could also serve as a textbook for estimating classes in construction management programs at universities and community colleges. The last section of the book provides useful but not readily available information for estimators on diverse topics, e.g., detailed information about Value Engineering, scheduling, subcontractor selection, bid summarization, and so on. An extensive glossary of construction terms is also included. Readers in all construction capacities will find: * A new, fresh look at the often baffling and deceptive job of estimating construction costs for residential and light commercial construction * How to assess plans, review bonds, and evaluate the site and the project schedule before beginning a cost take-off * How to integrate a cost estimate into a general accounting program for cost management and eventual billing * Incredibly helpful appendix with common construction standards and measurements--from standards for concrete forms, to nail sizes to commercial lumber sizes, and much more!

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Builder's Guide and Estimator's Price Book: Being a Compilation of Current Prices of Lumber, Hardware, Glass, Plumbers' Supplies, Paints, Slates, Stones, Limes, Cements, Bricks, Tin, and Other Building Materials This work is chiefly intended to assist the Builder and Contractor, in making estimates of the cost of work they may be competing for. A great deal of information often required by contractors cannot be obtained without trouble and serious loss of time, consequently their estimates are frequently guessed at, and their tenders for construction are either absurdly too high, or ridiculously low. This little book is intended in a measure to remedy this defect in estimating, by bringing before the estimator the details to be estimated as far as possible, and their approximate cost. It is im possible, however, to quote prices that will suit every locality or all time, but we have provided for this by leaving a blank column where prices may be entered in pencil, to suit locality and time.

In such a large work as this now is. a good Index is of great value, and it is suggested that it be frequently consulted. The belief is that the increase in value has more than kept pace with the bulk. An endeavor to keep down the thickness has been made by using a thinner paper than In former editions. The field of building is always expanding, and the author and publishers try to keep the "New Building Estimator" abreast of every progressive development. Therefore, in addition to the main part of the book dealing with the standard construction, there are detailed figures on reinforced concrete, and many chapters on Square, Cubic Foot, and Comparative Costs, on Physical Valuation, and Depreciation that serve alike for architects, contractors, insurance and other appraisers, and railroad engineers. Many states have already valued their railroads, and the same work has been recommended by high authority for the nation at large, while all the buildings of great cities like Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Paul, Denver, etc., have been assessed on a square foot basis. The figures are here put In compact form for the use of all. The ordinary tabulated matter is given, but there are also special tables for quick calculation, Including a series for estimating plaster. An hourly Wage Table has been prepared for this edition in order to save weekly calculations. The ordinary wage table is of no use to builders who pay by the hour only. The book has from the first been received with favor by the trade press, by architects, railroad engineers, contractors, appraisers, assessors, students, and others.
