About the book
The Estimator’s Pocket Book is a concise and practical reference covering the main pricing approaches, as well as useful information such as how to process sub-contractor quotations, tender settlement and adjudication.

It includes instructions on how to handle:
- the NRM order of cost estimate;
- unit-rate pricing for different trades;

- approximate quantities.
Worked examples show how each of these techniques should be carried out in clear, easy-to-follow steps.
