Simplify the estimating process with the latest data, materials, and
practices
Electrical Estimating Methods, Fourth Edition is a comprehensive guide
to estimating electrical costs, with data provided by leading
construction database RS Means. The book covers the materials and
processes encountered by the modern contractor, and provides all the
information professionals need to make the most precise estimate. The
fourth edition has been updated to reflect the changing materials,
techniques, and practices in the field, and provides the most recent
Means cost data available. The complexity of electrical systems can make
accurate estimation difficult, but this guide contains all the necessary
information in one place.
An electrical estimate represents the total cost for materials, labor,
overhead and profit, but accuracy is virtually impossible without a
basic knowledge of the field, and real-world experience in the type of
work required. Inaccurate estimates lead to problems with customer
satisfaction, which often create payment issues. A thorough, complete,
and accurate estimate is in the best interest of all parties involved in
the work. Electrical Estimating Methods provides more than just data.
Detailed discussions about the work itself help highlight factors that
may escape notice, and access to the latest cost data helps tie
everything together. Features include:
- Discussion of current equipment, materials, and processes
- Means data for both residential and commercial projects
- Case studies that illustrate best practices
- Online access to the latest Means data for fast access on the job
The book discusses specific situations as well as general practices, and
provides comprehensive guidance to the creation of a true, current,
estimation of costs. For electrical contractors and estimators,
Electrical Estimating Methods contains must-have content that
simplifies the estimating process.
