SALT LAKE CITY, July 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When an architect designs a building, he considers not only the location, foundation and structure, but also the operating expenses for the project. Since it is important to determine the feasibility of the plan being proposed, we need valuable tips and skills for estimating and pricing building elements. To provide necessary knowledge on this matter, author Moremi Mareka introduces a very informative resource, Building Estimates and Rates Build Up.
As an experienced professional in the building industry, quantity surveyor, and a former lecturer for technical colleges, Mareka deems it important to use his expertise to provide useful materials on this topic, since brigades and technical colleges do not have a relevant book to deal with estimates at present. An instructive guide for technical educators, individual builders, apprentices, small contractors and technical and brigades students, Building Estimates and Rates Build Up helps explain the subject of estimating and enables them to apply the skill whenever they have projects.
Mareka's edifying book sheds light on the complexity of this subject as it brings together pure mathematics and practical estimation, making readers realize that this is not as confusing as they think it is, for the formulas that are used in mathematics are also applicable in estimates. For the ones who are in need of educational materials on building estimates, or those who are into engineering and architecture, this book surely fits the bill.
