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.

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.

Most spend thousands in buying a franchise. This book has what you need to build a successful system yourself at much less cost.

I am running a construction company and my basic mindset is functional business development. I recently purchased this Construction Operations Manual and I am extremely satisfied. The book almost perfectly addresses a wide array of issues, actually, it's phenomenal! It simply is a 'construction operations manual.' I have not read anything that would come close to this book in terms of running a practical construction company.

Furthermore, this is basic business development. In my opinion it is a balanced and structured way of creating and operating any business in general. Whether it be a construction, technology or scuba diving companies, these basic functional principles of running a business will not change. It is a fabulous book.

There is some room for improvement. The cd-rom with forms templates is fairly large and it forms facilitates many issues, however I personally have put together a compilation of templates 4x as large. Therefore, there is a way to create a better manual by adding more forms to the cd-rom.

Overall, i give the Construction Operations Manual two thumbs up, five stars and lots of support.

There is no doubt the author has a lot of experience and as far as text books go, it's a pleasurable read. My disappointment in this product stems mostly from the documents found on the CD; they weren't nearly as helpful as I had hoped. I was expecting more based upon the reviews I read. If you are in the construction business, it can't hurt to have this book in your library but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Nice book if you are trying to build a very organized construction company. Needs a few more visuals but good book

This is an excellent reference manual for anyone that is new to the construction industry. In my opinion it can be used right off the shelf as a manual on how to administrate a construction contract.

Book is great, I used to connect some dots for me (I'm IT with little construction background) creating a data system for a large construction company. I was very interested in some of the items that was to be on the disc that accompanied the book. However, my cd will not read on any pc or mac. Great book, but disappointed in the bad disc.
