This single volume provides the 300 most useful manhour tables for practically every item of construction.
If you estimate the cost of residential, industrial or commercial construction, this manual will become your most used and most useful estimating reference.
Construction Estimating Reference Data has all the building estimator's most useful reference tables:
- Manhours for installing nearly every type of construction material, including site work, concrete work, masonry, steel, carpentry, thermal & moisture protection, doors & windows, finishes, specialties, equipment, plumbing, mechanical and electrical.
- Material requirement tables that answer the questions: What type is needed? How much should I order?
- Each section explains in detail the work being estimated, recommends the appropriate crew size and suggests what equipment is needed.
- Many pages of illustrations, estimating pointers and explanations of the work being estimated are also included.
This second edition has been revised to reflect changes in the construction industry since the original edition was published, including:
- the use of pneumatic-driven nails for roofing and framing
- elimination of nearly all asbestos-containing materials
- the introduction of new materials for plumbing, siding, roofing, paneling and other applications
- revision of manhour tables to reflect more recent experience
Includes Free National Estimator Disk for Windows™
National Estimator:
Inside the back cover of Construction Estimating Reference Data is National Estimator, a CD-ROM with all the manhour estimating tables in the book plus the easy-to-use estimating program for Windows™, National Estimator.
National Estimator works just like a book.
1- Turn quickly to the table on any page by typing the page number, or use the electronic index to search (in seconds) by keyword.
2- Then select the cost estimates you want and copy them from the database (the top half of the screen) to your estimating form (the bottom half of the screen).
It's quick and easy (costs are extended and columns totaled automatically). And it's flexible. You can:
- Change any price or quantity
- Add new lines or even entire sections to the database
- Set your own labor rates, overhead and profit
- Enter your actual material cost
- Type right into an estimate any description or cost you choose
- Create a specialized costbook database for each type of work you handle (such as remodeling, insurance repair work or change orders)
Then either print the completed estimate directly or transfer it to your favorite word processing or spreadsheet program. National Estimator will become your most useful estimating tool.
Complete instructions for using National Estimator begin on page 361 of this manual.
Ken Holmes (writing in the March 1995 Remodeling magazine) recommended National Estimator and called it an "Estimating Wiz."
