This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hodgson's Estimator and Contractor's Guide for Pricing Builder's Work: Describing Reliable Methods of Pricing Builder's Quantities for Competitive Work, Showing in Brief and Concise Form the Methods Generally Employed by the Most Successful Contractors; Giving Full Details for Estimating Cost, by Cost Per Cubic Foot of Simil 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 of 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. While the old figures, as published before the present revision, had ceased to be correct, they had, and will con tinne to have, the quality of being guides on which cor rect, or nearly correct, prices may be based. As nearly as I can average up the present costs, they are about 28 per cent greater than the figures given in the former edition. In the present corrected edition, all the figures have been overhauled, and changed when necessary to suit the current prices.
