How to Estimate With Means Data and Costworks

by Saleh Mubarak

This step-by-step guide takes both academic users and practitioners through all the major construction items, from site work through concrete and masonry, wood and metal framing to roofing. Over 300 sample estimating problems show how to estimate for a wide range of construction elements — including general conditions and equipment costs. Two sets of plans — one residential and one light commercial - allow users to practice estimating techniques in the context of an actual project. Includes the educational version of Means CostWorks CD-ROM. This fully functional program enables users to quickly access construction costs on their computer... then customize this information to a specific location and job conditions with the ease of point-and-click technology. Means CostWorks lets you develop cost lists and export estimate data to spreadsheets with ease for further modification.
