The ability to estimate may be considered as the dividing line between the journeyman and the master builder for, no matter how skilful a mechanic may become, he can never hang out his shingle and invite patronage in his distinctive line of work unless he becomes able to make reliable estimates of material and labor to be furnished. To do this, something more than mere accuracy and quickness in figures or a mastery of mathematics is needed; the estimator must have also experience and judgment, an understanding of the more or less complicated details which go to make up a building, and a knowledge of current prices and discounts in the trade. It is the object of this text to point the way toward the acquirement of such of these essentials as may be imparted by words or figures, that is, to put in condensed form some of the common methods by which estimates are made up, and to point out some of the things which are to be avoided.
