Estimating With Microsoft Excel: Unlocking the Power for Home Builders

Rating:
Summary: I thought it was very good
Review: After reading, and practicing with this book, I have built a database where I can change prices to reflect the current market, and estimate jobs quickly and efficiently. There is a lot of information on how to set this up in Excel. Now I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on an estimating program. This book assumes you are familiar with construction, but unfamiliar with microsoft excel. This book will save you time and money in the long run.

Rating:
Summary: Overpriced and small.
Review: Half of this book is about basics of the Excel program. Very little is about real estimating and working out profit and loss. If you were to use the markups described in this book, you would lose money. A better title for this book would be " Introductry estimating with Excel"...
