If you need to estimate the cost of electrical systems in buildings, this book will be your most reliable guide to selecting the right material, figuring the Labor time required for installation, and totaling the installation cost and material price. Ed Tyler was named "National Estimator of the Year" by the American Society of Professional Estimators. His depth and breadth of knowledge make him one of the nation’s foremost authorities on electrical estimating.

Free Estimating Disk Enclosed
Inside the back cover of this book you'll find National Estimator, a CD-ROM with all the cost estimates in the book plus an easy-to-use estimating program for Windows. National Estimator works just like a book. Page through the entire book one screen at a time or use the electronic index to search (in seconds) for what you need. Then select the cost estimates you want and copy them to your estimate with the touch of a key. It's quick and easy (costs are extended and columns totaled automatically). And you can change any price or quantity, including subtotals, and add the markup of your choice.

Job Cost Wizard
Turns estimates into invoices and exports both to QuickBooks. Export entire estimates or invoices to track job costs for each item or category in your estimate. Then compare estimated and actual costs for each part of any job. Handles progressive billing (invoices for each part of the job) with QuickBooks Pro. Requires Win 95 or higher.
