Mike Holt's Illustrated Guide to Electrical Estimating

Holt, C. M. (2023). Mike Holt's Illustrated Guide to Electrical Estimating. Mike Holt Enterprises, Inc

234 page textbook

Pros

• Attractive design
• Detailed color illustrations
• Compelling topic organization and progression

Cons

• No mention of RFQ process

• Many/most topics are grossly oversimplified

• Tone is undeservedly authoritative and principled, refusing to acknowledge the questions of complexity that the content itself begs

  "Never make assumptions" What happens when RFI's go unanswered?

Best Suited For

• Electricians with no prior estimating experience and no real need of detail

Overall

This book is far too large in scope to lack the detail it does. The curriculum is clearly designed for those unlikely to need or understand its topics
