Standard Estimating Practice, 8E

By: ASPE

An invaluable "how to" reference manual on the practice of estimating construction projects - NEW LEED & BIM Estimating Sections

The American Society of Professional Estimators' new Eighth Edition of Standard Estimating Practice is an invaluable "how to" reference manual on the practice of estimating construction projects. It includes basic information applicable to all aspects of estimating and also includes specific information on a wide variety of specialty estimates arranged in the CSI format.

Standard Estimating Practice presents a standard set of practices and procedures proven to create consistant estimates. From the order of magnitude, to conceptual design, design development, construction documents, to the bid and the various types of contracts you'll run up against. Every step is covered in detail -- from specs and plan review to what to expect on bidding day.

Use this book as a reference and you'll see your estimating results become more accurate and more consistant. It includes practical checklists to help you include everything in your bids -- including insurance, outside services, and taxes, equipment rental and much more.

It explains exactly what estimators are expected to provide in the narrative of the level and scope. What to look for during the project evaluation, and how to meet expectations regarding value engineering.

You'll find exactly what the estimator should look for in the plans that will affect the estimate, the 7 important facts that should appear on the cover of every estimate, as well as the 10 essential componsents needed in every cost estimate so it can be understood throughout the trades.
