Who We Are:

An outline of who Friendship Press is.
Our goal is to save you money on any home improvement or remodeling project!

As Cost Consultants, that's our mission: to place in your hands the best cost-saving tools and strategies we can deliver!

We use these same secrets and techniques every day on projects from a few hundred to millions of dollars. No hype.

From our thirty years of experience, we've adapted these strategies and methods for you, the homeowner.

As professional Cost Analysts, we review a large range of residential and commercial construction projects. We apply the same methods and techniques of Cost Engineering we outline on this web site.

Our goal is simple: How can we develop and deliver powerful, practical, "doable" methods ordinary folks can use?

And use so effectively, you really can save thousands of dollars on home improvement, remodels, new homes, or commercial buildings? Many of our clients have paid us thousands of dollars to apply these same methods to their projects.

Then we had an idea! Why don't we put all these secrets into books and manuals?

So, fifteen years later, we've boiled it down to simple, practical methods that work! For a few dollars, you can learn these same methods. These are easy-to-grasp strategies you can use today!

The internet is filled with skin-deep offers. Flaky businesses with no offices, accountability or experience.

We have been professionally licensed and in business for twenty four years in the same city. We've been on the web for eight years. You can check our many years of impeccable references. Some of our clients are nationally famous.
But our goal is to keep things simple. Even though we can provide sophisticated cost analysis for multi-million dollar projects and fully documented litigation support at the Federal court level, We're here to deliver one essential package:

Hard hitting strategies that save you money!

And then, we've added more!

We include real time technical support, if you need it. As consultants, we believe every package we offer needs backup in the form of on-line technical support.

We provide a whole range of services, from simple questions and answers, all the way up to on-site reviews and litigation analysis. We hope you never need help with lawsuits, but that's all part of our professional background.

Just how much support can we provide? If you're interested, just e-mail us*. But start with the essentials:

Before you hire designers and architects, or talk to contractors, get your hands on these manuals and find out how much money they will save you!

*(As professional members of AACE (www.aacei.org ) we can, and do provide cost analysis and review, reports and consultation to corporations, banks, local government and the legal profession. As such, this includes litigation inspection and analysis, with supporting state and federal expert witness work.

Typically, we analyze and specify every project: from soil surveys, through design, plans, specifications, bid documents, bids, contracts and on through the final punch list. At every phase, our goal is to advise on the most efficient way to develop maximum cost savings.

We endeavor to bring our experience to bear on all aspects of cost engineering, cost control and analysis. But our primary focus has been and still is residential construction. We continue to develop and refine large scale commercial cost engineering techniques so that we can apply them to small residential projects. For it is here, where homeowners have to plunge into an unfamiliar world, that we find the needs are greatest.

Friendship Press is our publishing division, responsible for developing and refining our thirty years of training and field experience into teaching tools and publications.
