Estimating Principles for Concrete Contractors

by Charles Vander Kooi

One of the major reasons why concrete contracting businesses fail is that prices are not right. If they're too high, you won't get enough money to survive. If they're too low, you'll get lots of jobs, but never make any money. This book offers an effective system for setting prices that are fair - and profitable. You'll learn how to prepare detailed estimates and bids, with practical advice on making sure you turn a profit on every job. It includes many easy-to-follow charts and diagrams, plus sample forms, schedules, worksheets you can adapt for your own business.
