5.0 out of 5 stars Every cost estimate you need for construction, May 5, 2006
This review is from: 2006 National Construction Estimator (Paperback)
I have been using the National Construction Estimators for about 30 years now. I've found that their information is amazingly accurate. I first started using NCE for residential construction as a small contractor in the 1970s. During the 1980s and 1990s I used the latest revision for job costing at major government facilities. Since 2000 I have used the latest edition to cost out repairs and upgrades to apartment buildings, and steel structure warehouses. Each year they get the latest prices and revise the book. This year is no exception, the 54th edition is full of facts, figures, rules of thumb, detailed material costs, and everything you need to figure construction work from the smallest job to the largest. Whether you want to add up each spike and yard of concrete, or figure estimated complete subcontract work, this book gives you the tools. Residential, multifamily, commercial, or government, it's all here. Over the years I've found the NCE to be more accurate than construction estimating guides selling for far more, and worth buying a new edition every year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Info for people who need info, November 9, 2006
This review is from: 2006 National Construction Estimator (Paperback)
The book is nothing fancy but easy to use. The software was an added bonus.

I found its pricing to be consistant with pricing in my area.

At the price, it is hard to go wrong.
