Autorenporträt

Bill McElroy was in the construction industry for over 30 years. Most of what's in this book he had to learn the hard way -- by doing it. He knew how to do professional quality work, spot potential problems before the become major headaches and what to do when "surprises" come along. He compiled this manual so others just learning the trade would have at their fingertips all the information it took him years to discover. Dan Atcheson (1945-2020), who revised this book in 2012, learned construction at the side of his father, a Texas architect. Dan started working construction projects as a teen: framin, plumbing, eletrical, every trade from earthwork to roofing. After a rewarding career on the job sites, he joined the engineering faculty at Texas Tech University to teach construction estimating. Later he toured the country, conducting seminars for construction estimators. Dan is the author of seven estimating manuals and dozend of articles published in construction trade magazines. His references have been adopted for use in state-sanctioned construction trade and licensing programs.
