Headings, descriptions and contacts
As a whole this book is very useful for the electrician/sole trader, but this remark comes with qualifications. First the tables used in this book for unit rates are not explained, for instance it is not clear how the figures for hours and hours £ are achieved. As the average electrician is not a quantity surveyor or accustomed to accountancy language this can be confusing, it can be worked out and I managed this after some trail and error maths. Another failing with this book is the lack of direct contact with anyone that can offer an explanation should the reader require one. For all this, I still think it is a useful guide...
