• Excellent quick reference!
  This is a very handy and fairly comprehensive estimating guidebook. It does not delve into a lot of estimating theory, but it is extremely practical. I am a Construction Management professor, and I like it enough to encourage students to purchase the book to use as a resource for estimating. I also like the size of the book. I can fit it in my back pocket! Great job DeWalt and author Adam Ding!

• Every page pays

The book walks you through different stages of estimating: document review, site visit, quantity take-off, pricing, bid submittal and feedback etc. If you are self-performing, it has detailed checklists and forms for quantity take-off. If you are subcontracting some work and want to evaluate quotes from subs, the book also... more info
