It contains most of the information I need to know in earthwork estimating. The instructions and guidelines are written in clear and simple English that even non-English speaking individuals could easily understand. Excellent reference for earthwork estimators.
If you want to move dirt and make money, this book is a super help.

Very detailed and the writer knows his stuff. So often these type books deal with the easy "all you gotta do" stuff but this book leaves no stone unturned. Great information that any 'dirt' estimator needs.

It seems hard to believe but after reading this book it all makes sense. Why estimate in detail rather than a lump sum? This book takes you step-by-step through estimating.

Estimating for trenching utilities. I recommend this to all contractors.
