“Whether you’re new to the industry or are a seasoned veteran,
Jim Huston’s new book How to Price Landscape and Irrigation
Projects will immediately be of benefit to you. “Jim has complied all of the necessary information for you to price
landscape and irrigation work successfully and has done so in a
manner that anyone can understand and apply. Using a combination
of science and common sense, he presents methods and technology,
which are proven and fool proof.
“Jim gives step-by-step procedures for bidding from calculating
direct costs, to properly considering company overhead and adding
profit. He gives insight on how to scope out your competition,
and figuring your break-even point so you don’t buy a job
for the experience and end up losing money. These skills transcend
the industry and can serve any construction enterprise or service
industry.
“With over 40 year’s experience behind me, I’ve seen
a lot of authors attempt to do what Jim has accomplished with this
book. If you are in business or are contemplating making that first
step… Jim’s book is required reading.”

“Jim Huston's new book expands
on what was already the most comprehensive book available on landscape
and irrigation estimating. Jim's in-depth
knowledge of the landscape and irrigation business from the ground
to the corporate board room make his new book a must have reference
for every landscape and irrigation contractor.” Bob Dobson

“Jim Huston's latest volume
is a must purchase for landscape and irrigation contractors. Companies,
no matter how large or small,
can now find pertinent, easy to use, information in one source.
The business and pricing practices that Mr. Huston explains are
the key to working on your business instead of in your business.
If you buy one business resource book this year, make this the
one.”
