Thanks for your electrical question Jason.
Electrical Estimating for Commercial and Solar Projects
Jason, there are a lot of fine resources for great electrical books. One publisher that I am very familiar with is Thompson Delmar, the Cengage Learning publishers who produce high quality books. I personally have their De Walt Electrical Estimating Professional Reference and the De Walt Construction Estimating Complete Handbook.
