Product Description
Product Description
Construction Estimating with Excel, Second Edition, introduces readers to the fundamental principles of estimating. Using drawing sets, real-world exercises, and examples, the text offers students critical estimating experience. The book moves step-by-step through the estimating process, discussing the art of estimating, the quantity takeoff, how to put costs to the estimate, and how to finalize the bid. As students progress through the text they are shown how Microsoft Excel can be used to improve the estimating process. Because it introduces spreadsheets as a way of increasing estimating productivity and accuracy, the book can help both beginning and experienced estimators improve their skills.

Too Academic
18 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is for academia and not for any type of practical estimating. Heavy into the take-off and weak in pulling together an actual estimate. Problems are redudant and tedious. Very weak in Mechanical, Electrical or Plumbinng divisions
Good Estimating Database Template
1 May 2012
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be very good and detailed. I note with interest that most of the reviews were before the current edition in 2011. I am unsure whether this had anything to do with the negative reviews.

Confusingly Written
16 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The descriptions of estimating are fundamentally sound, but the way the mathematics is explained is a direct contrast to the way things are taught in most schools today. It's very "old-school", the methods are confusingly written.
