- The mathematical error of using percentages to allocate G&A overhead costs.
- The mathematical error of allocating G&A overhead costs based on direct costs.
- Common responses from his critiques who attempt to defend MORS.
- An alternative to MORS.
Jim also analyses the other five common estimating systems used in the green industry today. Jim provides:
- An overview of the six common estimating methods used today in the green industry.
