Electrical Estimating textbook

I thought the content covered on electrical estimating was very thorough, and that it talked about the ease and the fallacies of inexperienced estimators will encounter when cutting corners compared to doing a thorough job.

I want to praise you for your Guide to Electrical Estimating. I am an electrical engineer and have been in the contracting business for over 40 years. I wish I had read your guide when I began my career as I had to make many mistakes entirely on my own. Fortunately, I was lucky and a quick learner. Your personal comments completely resonate with my experience over the many decades. I mentored several employees helping them pass their state  electrical licenses, but sadly most were not able to succeed with their own business.. Accounting, working capital, and cash flow ruined these once talented employees and their respective enterprises. The common thread was taking on large jobs that their new companies did not have the reserves to carry. You correctly point out the risk of planning for something to go wrong and sometimes it does.



Keep up the good work and remind your students to watch the money - after all, that is the reason they went into business...to succeed.

Regards,
