Excerpt from The Builder's Guide and Estimator's Price Book: Being a Compilation of Current Prices of Lumber, Hardware, Glass, Plumbers' Supplies, Paints, Slates, Stones, Limes, Cements, Bricks, Tin, and Other Building MaterialsThis work is chie¿y intended to assist the Builder and Contractor, in making estimates of the cost of work they may be competing for. A great deal of information often required by contractors cannot be obtained without trouble and serious loss of time, consequently their estimates are frequently guessed at, and their tenders for construction are either absurdly too high, or ridiculously low.This little book is intended in a measure to remedy this defect in estimating, by bringing before the estimator the details to be estimated as far as possible, and their approximate cost. It is im possible, however, to quote prices that will suit every locality or all time, but we have provided for this by leaving a blank column where prices may be entered in pencil, to suit locality and time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
