Spons Estimating Costs Guide to Plumbing and Heating
Spons Estimating Costs Guide to Plumbing and Heating provides detailed costs of projects in addition to setting out analytical unit rates. It is accepted that it unlikely that the projects selected will be identical in size to those received in actual inquiries but the range of projects covered should enable a contractor to provide a quick and accurate response to an inquiry by making slight adjustments to the examples provided.
Plumbers and heating engineers access to price books for many years but they always obliged to prepare their own quantities and extract the relevant priced items from the books in order to prepare an estimate.
This procedure time-consuming and it particularly galling when the contractor suspects that the inquiry not genuine but merely a ruse to check a previously accepted estimate.
So saving in the time spent on frivolous inquiries must benefit the overall efficiency of firms in their pursuit of full order books and profitability.

I have received a great deal of support in the research necessary for this type of book and I am grateful to those individuals and firms who have provided the cost data and other information.
Their research for the information in the business section is based on tax legislation in force in February 2008. Although every care taken in the preparation of the book, neither the publishers nor I can accept any responsibility for the use of the information provided by any firm or individual.
