When I started contracting nearly 30 years ago this book was quite useful in moving me from trades person to business person, the required move to be successful. It's still here and just as good for introducing the basics of construction contracting.

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to build and contract their own home or for experianced builders who need a nononsense resource to contracting and home building. I have used this book and Vol 1 or many years and it has been nothing short of a time and money saver.

This book gets to the point with the basics showing how to do a job in detail with clear, concise instructions and drawings showing details that ensures professional performance. A must for a builder or tradesman engaged in the construction trades. I wouldn't start a job without it and I've been in the construction business for a good man years.

This book is an excellent refernce book. It helps you from beginning to end with almost any senerio.I highly recommend this book, Full of knowledge,references, and details. A very good book on construction management, building construction, estimatimg, contracts,and helpful cost information. One of the best on my list.

Good Book with Clear Illustration of Estimation & Bidding for Residential Projects

If you are looking for inspiring, learning experience detailing the business of being a contractor/builder, skip this title and keep looking. I found this book to be a very slow, textbook-styled task of a read.
