5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Jane Doe "Jane" (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Successful Estimating Methods: From Concept to Bid (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for beginners or the expert who desires a refresher in basic estimating. This instructor provides a detailed explanation of what to expect in estimating from A-Z. I was a student in one of the Basic Estimating courses he taught.
