- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024Great job at butting everything in layman's terms! Passed my classes with 96%
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024Great for my class
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024Nice book, out of date on the BIM part.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021Great book with good information BUT I wish there was a hard cover because the pages keep falling out. Unfortunately I had to replace it and now my replacement also falling apart. Aside from the crappy paperback, it’s a great and useful book!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2014Very good book on estimating and software selection Sage Timberline software. For a season or beginning estimator this is a good book to reference.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023I got this book and legit a whole chapter of the book had fallen out and was in place. In the following chapters, you flip the page twice and it's out like the other pages. Very disappointed in the quality especially since other times that I have ordered books and there have been no issues, pages that are still in tack and not falling out of the book. I would recommend not getting it here and saving your money worth somewhere else.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016Nice
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2014The idea is good but even seasoned professionals had a hard time with the blueprints, as to the correlation of blue prints to assigned lessons. The text and materials are good, instructions and coordination of plans to lessons was scant at best.
