This comprehensive book is subtitled as "the essential reference required for construction estimating and cost analysis." While that may sound like a rather self-serving sub-title it is close to the mark. The book is arranged according to the 2004 CSI MasterFormat classification system with sections devoted to the 48 MasterFormat Divisions. Each section provides helpful estimating tips, an estimating checklist, and extensive well-illustrated tables and charts of estimating data and information. This volume is indeed a useful reference for the building construction estimator or quantity suryeyor.
