Great Reference.......2007-07-22
Bought this to help plan an owner-builder house. Great reference, but not as comprehensive as I would have hoped. Missing residential SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) and other green building material costs. This publisher does print the best reference materials for the building industry.
Gives a general idea, but nothing too specific or accurate.......2007-03-08
This book is fairly inclusive but lacks costs for some specific tasks that can end up being fairly substantial for more specialized projects. Overall its a decent book, but it often leaves me looking for more.
Info for people who need info.......2006-11-10
The book is nothing fancy but easy to use. The software was an added bonus.
I found its pricing to be consistant with pricing in my area.
At the price, it is hard to go wrong.
It has everything I need and more!!!!!!.......2006-07-15
This book helped not only me but my clients.
Every cost estimate you need for construction.......2006-05-06
I have been using the National Construction Estimators for about 30 years now. I've found that their information is amazingly accurate. I first started using NCE for residential construction as a small contractor in the 1970s. During the 1980s and 1990s I used the latest revision for job costing at major government facilities. Since 2000 I have used the latest edition to cost out repairs and upgrades to apartment buildings, and steel structure warehouses. Each year they get the latest prices and revise the book. This year is no exception, the 54th edition is full of facts, figures, rules of thumb, detailed material costs, and everything you need to figure construction work from the smallest job to the largest. Whether you want to add up each spike and yard of concrete, or figure estimated complete subcontract work, this book gives you the tools. Residential, multifamily, commercial, or government, it's all here. Over the years I've found the NCE to be more accurate than construction estimating guides selling for far more, and worth buying a new edition every year.

Don't waste your money.......2005-02-14
I bought this book hoping to at least learn how to connect wires for an alarm system. I was highly disappointed. Do not waste your money.
totally useless!.......2003-10-04
I thought it`s a good book. But unfortunatly useless. Dont` spend money and time for this book!
Difficult to navigate!.......2002-02-15
Well this is my first EBook and I must say the EBook Reader program interface is horrible. I would much rather read the book with the standard Acrobat reader which has thumbprints and other ways to jump from location to location rather than the limited EBook navigational tools. I am very dissapointed with this purchase.

Book Description
With over 45 years of experience in contracting, managing and estimating electrical projects, the author has compiled literally thousands of installation labor rates used in everyday estimating procedures in theis easy-to-use manual. These labor rates complement the instructional portion of this manual that is written in simple, easy-to-digest construction language. Many professional estimator's guides are like door stops, filled with cumbersome and dreaded "refer to page number X" and "see note Y." They are not user-friendly or easily referenced. With its larger font sizes, larger format for easy viewing and its lay flat binding, so that it will stay open on an engineer's desktop or on the technician's sawhorse or truck hood, this manual is the optimal choice when deciding which reference material to use. Included with this book is a CD with all of the spreadsheets and forms that estimators need on a daily basis. Just download them onto your hard drive and print them out. Use them time and again for all your electrical estimating projects.

electrical estimating methods.......2007-09-13
The printing is soooo poor that it strained the eyes.I rang the printers in America and was treated like some rubbish. No wonder people hate americans. The people from RSMeans Publishers Reed Construction data Tel 781 422 5000 were so horrible and didnt have any sense of talking to a customer. i was disgusted and ashmed of even ringing the americans to complain about the typeset which is very very light. and very difficult for the eyes. I paid $55 plus 10 postage i am shocked completely. And after talking to the these people i will make sure that i will never travel to the USA and stay away from everything American. especially books.
many thanks

What a starter.......2000-06-17
This is definitly a must have book for a begining or a seasoned estimator.
Book Description
This extraordinary private collection of traditional costumes, put together with taste and passion by an Italo-Turkish couple, will take us across Asia Minor, Central Asia, India, South-East Asia, and the Far East: five immense territories spanning from west to east, an impressively multi-ethnic and multi-cultural continent. It is impossible not to be fascinated by the incredible variety of animals embroidered on a Zoroastrian shawl; by the dress from Kohistan with four hundred multiple inserts; by the face cover with which young brides of Karakalpak wore when they left home to go and live at their husband's house; by the wonderful, sheer saris (jamdani) of Bengal; by the elegance of the royal couple at the court of Yogjakarta; by the vegetable fibre garment worn by Chinese peasants to protect themselves against the rain; by the Japanese fireman's padded uniform...by their contrasting design, techniques, structures and decorations.

Gorgeous!.......2006-11-21
This book is a stunner! It contains gorgeous photos of many different items of apparel, including dresses, slippers, purses, coats, sashes, vests, scarves, fans, tunics, hats, robes, saris, trousers, blouses, kimonos, and more. Fabrics include silk, linen, cotton, wool, and even tree bark and palm fiber. Most items are from the 19th century, though a few are from the 18th and early 20th centuries, and all appear to be in excellent condition. The costumes thenselves are very beautiful, with designs ranging from simple to extremely detailed, and colors from pale white to vibrant reds, golds, and blues. The photography is spectacular. Often the item is shown draped artfully over an invisible stand, giving a three-dimensional view. There are many full-page close-ups of intricate designs and embroideries. Items on facing pages are in similar or complementary colors. Backgrounds set off the costumes effectively. All in all, a lovely book. Highly recommended.
Beautiful photos of ethnic textiles.......2002-01-03
This beautiful, large, coffee table type book is full of gorgeous color photography. There are tunics from Syria, embroidered veils from the Ottoman Empire, incredibly complex gowns from Afganistan, and wedding saris from India. The chapter on the Far East starts with a large color photo of a peasant's palm fiber rain costume while the next pages are full color photos of Manchurian court dress. The juxtaposition of the two is extrordinary. While there is a whole chapter on South East Asia, with some beautiful textiles from the region, I was dissapointed to find nothing in this book from Vietnam. I also wish some of the costumes could have been modeled on mannequins or people. It's hard to tell exactly what you're looking at in some of the photos, and if you're not familiar with the styles of the clothing, it's often difficult to envision how the pieces are worn.
