Estimating Water Damage Projects

Early feedback from peers in the water damage restoration industry who have read portions of Jon Isaacson's fourth book, How Not To Suck At Estimating: Habits For Better Project Outcomes.

Jon provides incredible insight, systems, processes, and accountability for running the estimating and administrative side of our business that is severely lacking in knowledge and expertise. A must read for current or aspiring estimators.

The Target Audience for this book:

1. The aspiring professional who wants to advance in their career. This book will be helpful to you. But, if you are not committed to mastering your current role (DYOJO), you will struggle to climb any further than where you are now. You will see how the things you are doing now will prepare you for future responsibilities. 
2. Estimators and project managers who want to level up their abilities in estimating, claims negotiations, and project outcomes. This book covers a lot of what I have discussed in articles and two of my prior three books (Book 1 and 3). There is a good deal of new content as well, including deeper dives into some technical aspects of estimating. 
3. The new manager who has been thrown into a position without much training or direction. This book will be helpful to you in understanding some of the principles that go into creating clarity, consistency, and accountability for your team. All three of my prior books will be of use to you as you develop your leadership skills.
4. The business owner who either needs some direction or another voice sharing these core principles. This book will be helpful to you and every member of your team as you build an interdependent organization. I am sure you will want to buy multiple copies so that you can hand them out like candy to every employee. ​

This book will also be a course offered through the Restoration Technical Institute (RTI). Keep your eyes open for the release in 2022 and reserve a copy through the webpage for BOOK 4.
