Description:Excerpt from The Builder's Guide, and Estimator's Price Book: Being a Compilation of Current Prices of Lumber, Hardware, Glass, Plumber's Supplies, Paints, Slates, Stones, Limes, Cements, Bricks, Tin, and Other Building Materials; Also, Prices of Labor, and Cost of Performing the Several Kinds of Work Required in Bu This work is chiefly 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 impossible, 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. The prices given in this book are only intended to form a basis upon which the contractor can place a percentage; they are approximately correct, but in all cases we advise a comparison with the prices current. Besides the hints and aids to the estimator, we have embodied in the book a number of valuable tables and memoranda of a useful and scientific kind. These are taken from standard works by Nicholson, Barlowe, Tredgold, Kankine, Fairbairn, Hodgkinson, Trautwine, and others, as well as a large amount of building information, rules, and recipes, that must prove of value to all interested in the construction, repairs, or decoration of buildings. We have also included a glossary of terms used in architecture and building. Although many things in this work have never appeared in book form before, we make no claim to originality beyond that of bringing before the builders, contractors, and artisans of America, in a condensed form, a greater amount of practical information than is to be found in any similar work. Real estate owners and insurance valuators, we think, will find this little work of great service in their every-day transactions.
