This book could be a magazine article, December 9, 1999
This review is from: The 9 Biggest Pitfalls of Home Construction (Mass Market Paperback)
First, to be fair, the author's make some mildly helpfull points. However, anyone who has spent even a few hours interviewing builders and/or architects will already be familiar with most of the points made. The book is very brief. Only the first 30 pages are actual text. The remainder of the book is example forms (4 copies of each to add girth to book, no doubt). I should think that anyone, after building one home, could write as well or better.

My neighbors had some work done on their house and it ended up being quite a disaster. I saw this book advertised locally and bought it. I can pretty safely say that we eliminated some contractors because of the book that we might have hired. The one we did hire met all of the qualifications outlined in the book and we have a beautiful addition to prove it. I know that because of many things in the "pitfall" book we had a good remodeling experience. John Francis
