1.0 out of 5 stars A guide for the remodeling bussiness., April 28, 2007
This review is from: How to Succeed With Your Own Construction Business (Paperback)
Well, I am a civil engineering on the heavy construction business. I bought this book in order to obtain some insigths of the construction business, You know: tips about contractors, methods, ways of doing some comercial offers and proposals. The book is all about remodeling. Perhaps the title should be: "How to succeed with your own REMODELING and SMALL construction business". If you are after this, that's the book.

This review is from: How to Succeed With Your Own Construction Business (Paperback)
As an individual seeking to start my own constuction business, this book has provided the insight I need not only to decide whether to 'take the plunge' but also provides most, if not all, of the information I need to set up my own constuction business. This book covers virtually everything about the mechanics of setting up a remodeling business. It is an indespensible 'how-to' manual that uncovers the up-front ingredients necessary to make it all happen. If you're looking to make a decision about whether to start your own business and how to go about doing it, this book is for you. It sets the table for the reader to make it happen. Very highly recommended.
