The 2009 ENR Square Foot Costbook

Imagine having a crystal ball that clearly showed you what the cost would be for a wide variety of building projects -- from health clubs and hospitals ... to restaurants and residential homes. Unfortunately there is no such crystal ball, but there is the next best thing. It's the new 2009 Edition of ENR's Square Foot Costbook, published in partnership with Design Cost Data and Design & Construction Resources. As you know, square-foot costs can vary widely, making it difficult to use them for estimating and budgeting. But the ENR Square Foot Costbook practically eliminates this problem by giving you costs that are based on actual projects -- not hypothetical models. You get detailed square-foot costs for office buildings ... schools... hotels ... fire stations ... retail stores ... and much more!
Arranged in four easy-to-use sections, the ENR Square Foot Costbook includes:
Current Square-Foot Costs, provided by Design Cost Data.
Each project is broken down by CSI MASTERFORMAT Division, and costs are reported in two ways: total cost by division and square foot cost by division. Construction Economics, provided by Engineering News Record. Cost information on the most commonly used construction materials is graphically presented to clearly show one- to five-year trends. This makes it easy to see how (and where) material costs affect overall construction costs.
Unit-in-Place Costs, provided by BNi Building News.

Over 6,000 accurate, up-to-date unit costs in the CSI MASTERFORMAT provide cost coverage for all aspects of construction -- from sitework and concrete, to doors and painting. Cost Adjustment Factors, provided by Design & Construction Resources. Prices around the country can vary by by as much as 30%. These adjustment factors let you account for regional variations in labor and material costs. And for each building type, you get a detailed narrative with background information on the specific project. This enables you to see the data in context and make appropriate adjustments to your own projections.

Labor Costs, Material Costs, City Cost Modifiers and Selling Prices for All Home Improvement Projects
Since every contractor uses different crews, subcontractors and suppliers, every price book should be a little different. Prices in the company price book should be revised regularly (monthly) to reflect changes in labor and material costs. But most home improvement contractors don't have the time, patience or staff needed to maintain lists of installed prices for thousands of items likely to appear in their bids. That's why home improvement contractors can rely on this manual (and the National Estimator disk in the back of the book) to serve as their company price book. It provides a basis for developing reliable, comprehensive bids and proposals that will ensure consistently profitable completed jobs.
This manual will be valuable to every home improvement specialist it includes thousands of labor and material cost estimates (and a recommended selling price) for nearly everything that goes into improving a home. It's accepted wisdom among home improvement specialists that salespeople need to be able to give a firm price quote in order to close a sale. To do this, you have to have current cost information at your fingertips. That's especially true on larger jobs where you've prepared detailed plans and a firm estimate. The homeowner will have questions and suggestions that change job specs, and in order to close the sale on the spot, your sales staff needs authority to quote an exact price for the changes.

National Construction Law Manual

NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION LAW MANUAL,
Mark Benjamin, President of Morley Construction Company and a California based General Contractor, had this to say:
Acret's National Construction Law Manual had long been on Jims mind while lecturing to many professional organizations and university students. But a national volume would be a difficult undertaking, it would have to address the needs of all professionals and students coast-tocoast and serve as a basic primer for all involved in the construction process. Being a part-time educator, Jim has successfully developed this manual for everyone to use and understand and has made this difficult subject clear to all. The National Construction Law Manual is a great resource for professionals who work in the construction environment. The reader can easily gain a very thorough understanding of the legal issues facing the industry, use it to fill in some gaps in his or her knowledge of the subject, or use the manual to refresh previously acquired skills. It takes you through basic contract law, torts, liens, dispute resolution, and the most commonly used contract forms. For the twenty years I have known Jim, he has never ceased to amaze me with his quick insight, gentle wit, commitment to fairness, plain english, and his unquenchable desire to learn. I know the readers of this book will enjoy the logical flow of the chapters, the clear prose, the relevant examples, and the decades of wisdom bound within this volume.

National Mechanics Liens Handbook

(1557014426) ... $72.00
For The First Time ... The Most Requested And Most Often Used Subject in Construction Law - Mechanics Liens - Presented For All 50 States!
Over 630 Pages

This book presents for the first time, the construction mechanics lien statutes of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. Also presented is the Miller Act, which requires payment bonds for the protection of subcontractors and suppliers on federal projects. The book was edited by James Acret, of counsel to Thelen Reid & Priest in Los Angeles, and recognized nationwide as a leading authority on construction law. Also included is Acrets simplified summary of the mechanics lien laws along with a treatment of stop notice and payment bond remedies. The catchlines to the statutes were also written by Acret. Since every state has its own mechanics lien statute, learning acquired in one state cannot be transferred to another without a careful study of its particular statute. Since most states impose preliminary notice requirements, a contractor, design professional, or material supplier cant afford to wait until after a collection problem arises to look up the applicable law. Likewise, developers, sureties, and construction lenders must take steps to protect themselves at the beginning of the development process rather than after payment problems have arisen. Developers, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, building material dealers, construction lenders, and sureties will find this book indispensable.

Easy Scheduling
A Construction Scheduling Resource Handbook
By Don Ramsey and Stephen Matzon
$59.95 ... (9781557016157)

Easy Scheduling presents you with a complete set of "real world" scheduling tools that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of small to medium-sized construction businesses like yours. Step by step, it shows you how to build a schedule that will synchronize everyone's efforts into an organized system that become the basis of all planning and communication for all your projects. You'll see how to establish realistic project goals ... how to set checkpoints, activities, relationships and time estimates for each task ... how to establish priorities ... how to create a project flowchart ... and how best to communicate the schedule to keep everyone focused and on track. And that's just the beginning! You'll see how to use CSI (Construction Specification Institute) coding to organize and sort tasks, methods and materials across multiple projects as well as improving coordination with subcontractors and suppliers. And if you decide to use a computer for your scheduling, Easy Scheduling shows you how to enter all your project information into Microsoft Project, and generate detailed project plans that cover all of your time and materials requirements, as well as a critical path timeline and a full blown Gantt chart. The benefits of effective scheduling in construction are too compelling to ignore. You create greater accountability for individual responsibilities. You control your workload. You limit liability. You control deliveries. You manage time and resources. And most importantly, you control your profits. If you want an easy way to get started, Easy Scheduling is the answer for you.

A good home is the result of good house parts -- a certain window, a special door, a punched dormer, a romantic overlook -- that are put together based on a homeowner's personal vision.Drawing on more than 15 years of experience as a nationally know author and residential architect, Dennis Wedlick gives you what you need to make a distinction between the whole house and its unique components. Filled with ideas that transform a house, Good House Parts is the first book to present these parts as the building blocks for great design.
Taunton's Family Home Idea Book focuses on spaces that work for all kinds of families. You'll find large rooms that invite everyone in to congregate, as well as smaller rooms that provide space for independent activities for different family members. Authors Julie Stillman and Jane Gitlin bring a wealth of innovative ideas home, with more than 400 color photos, drawings, and sidebars designed to spark creative solutions to everyday, and constantly changing, needs in a family's home.
Decks and patios let us expand the footprint of our homes by giving us outdoor living areas. No longer just some pressure-treated lumber nailed to the back of the house, or a slab of poured concrete, decks and patios have evolved to become outdoor rooms that are equipped and furnished like other parts of the house. You'll find a wealth of information about siting, materials choices, railings, landscaping, and outdoor structures. You'll have what you need to transform an ordinary outdoor space into a beautiful outdoor room.

A/E/C Marketing Fundamentals

Michael T. Kubal, Kevin T. Miller, Ronald D. Worth (1557014833) ... $59.00
A/E/C provides marketers with the resources and ideas necessary to adapt to the numerous standards changing the A/E/C industry. Equipped with basic knowledge of these electronic-age paradigms, an A/E/C marketer can tailor, develop, and formulate a structured marketing program that increases opportunities for success. The idea of a market-driven culture for companies in the design and construction industries was almost unheard of just a few years ago. Today there exist national associations, such as the Associated General Contractors (AGC) and others, representing various facets of the A/E/C industry. A recent survey of AGC's membership highlighted the critical need to instill this "culture" within each member of the team, including those in the field, project managers, Estimator, secretaries, and particularly any member who interfaces with the client on a regular basis. This is true in every facet of the A/E/C industry-engineering, architecture, construction, landscape design, interior design, or any professional services arena. The new virtual-age principles have facilitated the growth in strategic alliances that enable contractors to target a wider variety of opportunities by increasing their capabilities without having to add to their existing resources. Alliances permit contractors to contract larger projects, using design-build contracts, in more expanded geographical areas than they would be able to without the alliance partnership. Clearly, marketing is not what it used to be, and the intention of this book is to introduce marketers to the new realities of A/E/C marketing that enhance the successful marketing practices that have been standard for most of us for a very long time.

When construction managers need to talk about the specifics of a construction job where the electrical outlets need to go, when the framing will be completed, how a plumbing problem will be solved - they need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with workers. That task gets considerably more difficult when managers and workers are speaking in different languages. More than simple dictionary terms or phrases, managers need a tool for understanding the basics of the language their workers use - a resource that lets them communicate the myriad of questions, issues, schedules, and tasks that come up on a construction job.
