Estimating Electrical Construction,
By
This review is from: Estimating Electrical Construction (Paperback)
This book from an estimating standpoint reads like a text book without any substance. The author talks about estimating but does not show any practicality in the actual execution of electrical estimating. He does provide an example but if you have done any type of electrical estimating before you will find it not useful or expounding.

Good information but somewhat outdated,

This review is from: Estimating Electrical Construction (Paperback)
I was really looking for specific information like how long it should take to install an outlet, wire a house, etc. The author gave information how to collect your own data from experience. It was geared toward new construction.
