Don't waste hours working up
material lists for every job you
bid. Instead, use this manual to
develop quick, accurate cost
estimates. Do the material take-off
only when you've got the contract.
The Author: Dan Atcheson, the son of
a Texas architect, began working on
construction sites as a teenager.
During his career he worked at most
of the construction trades, from
earthwork and masonry to framing and
roofing. He added estimating to his
skills in the 70s, teaching
construction cost estimating at
Texas Tech University. In the 1980s
and 1990s he was a featured
presenter at estimating seminars and
conventions nationwide. He now
divides his time among his
construction consulting business,
writing on construction topics and
raising English bulldogs. His
technical papers on construction and
estimating have been published in
many trade magazines, and he has
authored several construction
manuals: Estimating Earthwork
Quantities, Earthmoving Equipment,
Production Rates & Costs, Estimating
Framing Quantities and Roofing
Construction & Estimating.
Free Estimating Disk Enclosed
In the back of this book you'll find
National Estimator, a CD-ROM
with all the cost estimates in the
book plus an easy-to-use estimating
program for Windows
National Estimator works just
like a book. Page through the entire
book one screen at a time or use the
electronic index to search (in
seconds) for what you need. Then
select the cost estimates you want
and copy them to your estimate with
the touch of a key. It's quick and
easy (costs are extended and columns
totaled automatically). And you can
change any price or quantity and add
subtotals where needed. Then add the
markup of your choice.
Monthly price updates on the Web
are FREE and automatic all during
2008

and exports to QuickBooks Pro.
Export entire estimates or invoices
to track job costs for each item or
category in your estimate. Then
compare estimated and actual costs
for each part of any job. Handles

each part of the job) with
