Description
The authors of SP Estimating - Rob & Jeanne Schippers - have worked in the construction industry for a combined total of over 45 years. They have worked mostly together, in almost every conceivable capacity from drafting & design, owning and operating a general contracting company, working on site doing trade-work, operating equipment, survey and layout, and supervision of major projects, through estimating and project management.
Projects include subdivisions, single and multi-unit housing developments, high-rise buildings, schools, hospitals, a conference centre, parkades, bridges, and treatment plants. They were located mostly in British Columbia, but also in Alberta, and also worked for 3 years in Phoenix, Arizona. Both have a Gold Seal certification in Project Management, and have extensive formal education in everything from Building Technology, Estimating, Quantity Surveying, Mediation, Drafting, Business Management, and numerous other courses.
We were among the very first to start using personal computers in our work on job-sites and in the office, starting in 1985 with an early PC, running DOS, PC Write, and Lotus 123 from a single 5-1/4 floppy disk. We wrote the contract documents in PC-Write which were used on various projects. We used CAD to assist us in project layout on a high-rise building in 1989, and did most of the CAD drafting for two projects in Arizona in 96-99.
