The Builder and
Contractor's Guide



TO CORRECT MEASUREMENTS of areas and cubic contents in all matters relating to buildings of any kind. Illustrated with numerous diagrams, sketches and examples showing how various and intricate measurements should be taken :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::


By Fred T. Hodgson, Architect, and W. M. Brown, C.E. and Quantity Surveyor

THIS is a real practical book, showing how all kinds of odd, crooked and difficult measurements may be taken to secure correct results. This work in no way conflicts with any work on estimating as it does not give prices, neither does it attempt to deal with questions of labor or estimate how much the execution of certain works will cost. It simply deals with the questions of areas and cubic contents of any given work and shows how their areas and contents may readily be obtained, and furnishes for the regular estimator the data upon which he can base his prices. In fact, the work is a great aid and assistant to the regular estimator and of inestimable value to the general builder and contractor.
