As a purchaser of my book, you will learn what I have researched and condensed into an easy-to-understand method of estimating electrical contracts. It is my hope, that the information supplied in my handbook will prevent potential errors in calculations and will allow you or your business to be more profitable on a daily basis. An instructor once said, "There are too many electrical contractors bidding on work who lack the true knowledge of costing. They are unaware of the many ramifications of estimating, and overlook many of the details which will determine profit or loss on any given project." This same instructor commented, "I wish there was a practical guide for estimating...that was easy to read and quickly understood."

Perhaps the instructor's words were my motivation to take the time I have in producing my manual. Another reason I'm sure, is the fact that I have been there. I've been the one who had to make instant judgments in order to meet a bid deadline. Back then, I often wondered..."WHAT IF?"

BOTTOM LINE...these important two words must spell P-R-O-F-I-T, or you will not stay in business. In order to make this so, you must consider variables such as COST OF MATERIAL, LABOR, DIRECT / INDIRECT JOB EXPENSES, and many more. In my book, we will touch on many of the variables which will determine your final bidding price.

This book, complete with actual samples of bid jobs, includes numerous professional tips written by a professional in the field.
