Craftsman Book Company

Craftsman Book Co. – originally Cal Pacific Builders (1952-1953) – developed from a partnership between a construction contractor and licensed civil engineer. The first Craftsman book, California Home Estimator, was published in 1953. Since that time, Craftsman has published hundreds of technical and professional references for the construction industry.

Tens of thousands of contractors, remodelers, custom builders, appraisers, adjusters, estimators, architects, engineers and other construction professionals in the United States and Canada rely on Craftsman’s software products and annual estimating cost data publications. Craftsman’s Construction Contract Writer and Construction Lien Writer software are first-in-class productivity tools used by construction professionals to meet increasingly more stringent state contracting standards.
