<p>Developed by the faculty of University of Florida Construction Department and used as an introductory estimating course in conjunction with Walker's Building Estimator's Reference Book, this text guides the reader through a proven method of quantity surveying and estimating. This standardized method allows several estimators to work on the same project without confusion or loss of time and lets one estimator take over an unfinished estimate and understand what has been completed. The text reviews construction contracts, insurance and bonds. It discusses geometric shapes and conversion factors, and valuable tables aid the user in determining material quantities. It explains preparation of plans for survey, how to read plans and locate sections, and how to convert inches to decimals of a foot. It provides the reader with a method of estimating quantities and costs of concrete, formwork, reinforcing steel, masonry, earthwork and carpentry. For residential construction.</p>
