Be Careful On The Pricing., 2002-09-03
This book uses "unit pricing" or "flat rate pricing," a helpful way to estimate a project when you are sure the pricing reflects your material and labor costs plus the correct markup for your business. You should take a sample case and compare your actual costs to a listed unit price. You can then adjust (increase or decrease) the listed prices to reflect your situation. I suggest you use the prices as a guide to a pricing system that is best for your type of business. New home building costs less than remodeling and repair. Any unit price process has to take into account the demands of the project. Many home builders have gone broke pricing a remodel project using the same cost process as they did on a new home.

Many Manhours For Construction, 1999-03-30
I'm impressed with the amount of manhours are in this book. Just about every job in construction is listed -- with the amount of time it takes to complete that job -- from digging a ditch to installing a toilet.
