From the Publisher
"Your book is quite excellent…after going through it I have decided to make it a required text for my estimating class here at ASU. Thank you so much and if you have any other books please let me know." - Dr. Kenneth T. Sullivan, Arizona State University"Based on what I have already seen, the handbook seems to be very helpful source of information for undergraduate students who learn these topics in the various courses of construction cost estimating. I think will try to incorporate some of the things you have there in my next semester's course." - Dr. Sarel Lavy, Texas A&M University
"It covers a lot of practical issues. I found some of those tables are particularly helpful. I will put it down as a recommended book along with the Walker's. Actually your book is much better organized than the Walker's." - Dr. Huanqing Lu, East Carolina University
" …find it very good….it will work well for the estimating class at Sacramento State." - Prof. Phil Clevenger, Sacramento State University
"It appears to have a lot of pertinent and interesting estimating information... the quoted price is quite reasonable." - Prof. Jerry Johnstone, Red River College
