Plumbing Estimates and Contracts, by John Joseph Cosgrove, offers a comprehensive guide to the business aspects of plumbing as they were understood in the early 20th century. This practical handbook provides detailed insights into creating accurate estimates, managing contracts effectively, and understanding the financial side of plumbing work. Cosgrove’s work covers essential topics such as labor costs, material pricing, and the legal considerations involved in plumbing agreements. Originally published in 1910, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical practices of plumbing and construction, offering a glimpse into the methods and business principles of a bygone era. While plumbing technology has advanced significantly, the fundamental principles of cost estimation and contract management remain relevant, making this a worthwhile read for both historical context and practical understanding.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
