This comprehensive reference covers the full spectrum of technical data required to estimate construction costs. The book includes information on sizing, productivity, equipment requirements, code-mandated specifications, design standards and engineering factors.
Hi,
My name is Joe Macaluso. I just completed something totally different for me, a fictional short story about two kids, two bikes and a friendship. The title of the Ebook is A Ride. I hope it puts a smile on your face.
Prior to the short story I wrote an E-book called Notes From a Beam Counter: A Guide to Construction Cost Estimates. It's a brief informal guide intended for anyone who needs to work with construction cost estimates. The E-book should be particularly helpful for those with little experience in this field. I've also a contributed chapters to Green Building: Project Planning & Cost Estimating, Building & Renovating Schools, and helped with the editing of the Means Estimating Handbook.
These books are all available at Amazon.com. If you like what you read please write a review.
I've written some blogs and magazine articles on cost estimating over past few years. Other activities include chairing of the AACE Government & Public Works Special Interest Group, and chairing the New York Interagency Engineering Council. Every summer we do an all day technical conference built around a central construction theme. Check www.nyiec.org around the spring to see what we have in store. I've also enjoyed teaching construction cost estimating at Long Island University, and the City University of New York
Thanks
