|
|
|
|
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
