I work in the construction industry as a secretary and I bought the Construction Dictionary for my desk so I could look up some of the more obscure words when I type letters and proposals. This dicitionary is really easy to read but the words are too basic. It would be a good dictionary for someone new to the business but if you need a more diverse set of words this is not the dictionary for you. It's priced right for the beginner.

I am new to the estimating and construction management world and I find this little dictionary incredibly helpful. I use it often when reading prints and listening in on meetings. When words come up that I don't know I look 'em up and I've yet to come across one I couldn't find in this book. Maybe not so good for veterans of construction but perfect for me.

Re: BNI's Construction Dictionary, Pocket Edition
105 pages, watered down version of BNI's Larger Construction Dictionary Illustrated, which was also a major disappointment.

decent at best. thought it was a little light. also, the size is not really pocket sized. unless you have really BIG pockets.
