First Remodel HELP with supplies/pricing

[Jeff Dippel]

Hey everyone,

Quick question. I am currently doing my first remodel out of state. I have never done one before and am looking for a good book that might have common pricing, terminology, etc. that I'd need to buy appliances, know what size stuff we need, etc. so I don't sound completely stupid. Anyone have any recommendations?

Check out Jay Scott's book on "The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs".  I have been in construction and doing remodels for 13 years and I read it 2 years ago.  It is a great source of information for terminology and scope of work.
