This review is from: Construction Operations Manual of Policies and Procedures (Hardcover)

THe attached diskette did not contain all the forms and letters as so indicated by the author. THe author should verify the diskette before shipping. Other than that I thought the manual prove to be worth the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but could be better, October 18, 2003

This review is from: Construction Operations Manual of Policies and Procedures (Hardcover)

Author has huge experience in construction industry, but I expected something like a guideline - simple in structure, focused on essence. Topics are covered with plenty of words, could be simpler. However generally it is worth having this book.
