About the Seminar
The new "Basic Masonry Estimating" seminar, conducted by Jerry G.

This new training program utilizes an entirely new manual written specifically for the beginning level. During the seminar, the participants will be divided into small teams and jointly work on problems. The results will be reviewed and critiqued.

About the Manual
The new "Basic Estimating Manual is published by the Mason Contractors Association of America and was authored by Jerry G. Pope. Mr. Pope has taken special care to bring the subject within reach of the beginning estimator or others interested in a better understanding of plans, specifications, the take-off procedure and pricing. Each seminar participant will receive a copy of the three-ring loose-leaf Manual which will be used as the text and workbook for the seminar.
