Protect Your Profits Through 'Defensive' Estimating

Have you ever walked away from a closing with much less money than you deserved? Stop letting that happen! Learn the profit-protecting methods of sucessful builder, remodeler, and business expert Bill Asdal, CGR.

In his latest book "Defensive Estimating: Protecting Your Profits," from BuilderBooks, Asdal shows builders and remodelers how to estimate based on fiscal goals and protecting the company’s bottom line.

His unique approach to estimating gives you user-friendly systems to improve the process and provides hundreds of ideas and simple suggestions. With Asdal’s guidance, you can:
 
  • Take a hard look at your business processes and modify them to meet financial goals
  • Create profits unendangered by carelessness or short vision
  • Defend each estimate line so that the system of planned profit is consistent and bankable.
Asdal takes the magic and science of estimating and turns it into an art.
 
A must-read for anyone involved with managing a construction business. Bill Asdal promotes not only the understanding of costs, but the foresight to predict construction expenses while considering the full realm of cost as a function of profit.
