Excerpt from The Contractors and Builders' Handbook The Contractors' and Builders' Handbook is divided into three parts. The first deals with the Contractor as a Business Man; the second, with the Contractor as a Constructor, which is not a trained architect, by any means; and the third, with the Contractor as a Citizen and Taxpayer. The titles of the chapters show what subjects are considered to be of most value to him in his various spheres. The business affairs gone over in the first book have to be attended to by every contractor. He has to deal with architects and owners; he has to buy from supply men; to keep at least some record of his work in books; and to pay for insurance and bonds. After reading the part on liability insurance he is more apt than ever to attend carefully to this branch, for here neglect may be ruinous, no matter how carefully other arrangements are made, and other parts of a business carried through. In the second book the contractor can find certainty, instead of what he often makes guesswork, on plain construction. It is written in a way to be easily understood. There are many books with formulas that might as well be written in Latin as English, so far as average contractors are concerned. Yet such men have done a great amount of plan drawing and building independent of tin architect, and will go on doing so for quite a long while to come. It is believed that Book II is of much value to constructors of this kind. It is true that we have more than 30,000 architects, draftsmen, and designers; but there are between 600,000 and 700,000 carpenters; 250,000 saw-mill, planing-mill, and other wood-workers; 17,000 masons; 40,000 plasterers; and 300,000 iron and steel workers. Thousands of these men make plans; and probably half of the active builders do so at one time or another. By following the instructions in Book II they will put up at least safe buildings. The plans for the artistic ones will continue to be made by the "regulars." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders The degree to which the architect is essen tial to the building program approximates the extent to which he will be employed. If the job seems to be able to run without him he is classed as a luxury, to be avoided in the interest of building economy. It is on this plea that the architect's chief competitor, the general contractor, steps in and grabs the bacon.

Excerpt from The Carpenters' and Builders' Guide: Being a Hand-Book for Workmen, Also a Manual of Reference for Contractors, Builders, Etc The glossary of architectural terms is full, and has been compiled from the best authorities. The definitions and problems are of the highest importance to draftsmen, since without a thorough knowledge of them, 'but little progress can be made in the art. They have not been illustrated by diagrams, as it is believed the learner will obtain more practical information by following the directions given, and drawing the lines himself, than by any other method.

Excerpt from The Contractors', Builders', And Carpenters' Building Table and Estimate Book: Being a Systematic, Thorough and Practical Method by Which to Estimate the Cost Material, With Full and Complete Instructions The Author does not claim any invention or new discovery; there is nothing contained in the work that should not be familiar to all experienced builders. But to such, as a book of reference, it will be of great convenience, saving them much time and labor in making estimates. Many builders have long experienced the need of such a work, that would greatly lessen the time and labor in estimating the cost of building, and at the same time teach the workman the art of calculating the cost of buildings. The special object of which is to show the proper method of obtaining the cost of any contract, large or small, and to greatly lessen the time and labor in making the calculations. The greater part of the book is unlike any other work, with so great a variety of full bills of timber giving the number of feet of frame lumber, boarding, clapboarding, shingles &c., in over two hundred buildings of various dimensions, commencing with the size of 8 by 10 and gradually increasing to 100 feet in length with proportionate width. With such a variety one can hardly fail of finding the desired size with the number of feet annexed The rules for measuring dimension lumber, wood and bark, will here be found the shortest and best methods for making such measurements, giving such examples and explanations as cannot be found in any Arithmetic. These rules and examples arc so thoroughly explained in their several different ways that they should be in the hands of every man and every schoolboy.

Excerpt from Builders' Reliable Estimator and Contractors' Guide: A Complete Guide for Pricing All Builders' Work It is the fate of books on estimating for builders that they soon become somewhat unreliable, no matter how exact they may have been when first published. This is due to various reasons, - the continual fluctuations in the prices of labor, changes and introduction of new mate rials, new methods oi construction and style of building. Since this book was first published, the changes made in the cost of labor and in the selling price of material have been wonderful, and it may be said that buildings today are fully twenty-eight per cent more costly than they were when this book was first published. Recently prices have risen so high and at such a rate, that it has been found difficult to keep in touch with them. For three or four years past, contractors have either made or lost a lot of money, for they either have run up big prices, or, in sticking to conservative figures, have suffered losses to a considerable amount.
