1.0 out of 5 stars Hardly worth the shipping cost for anyone with experience., May 4, 2004
I bought this book for the Land Development aspects and was very disappointed. I am a successful building contractor and want to move in the direction of land development. Not the development of a single lot but the development of a parcel of land. This book is focused on going from owning a truck, having a skill saw and working for an experienced company to trying to fly on your own. This is not a bad idea but was certainly not what I expected or needed. Only the last chapter talked about "land development" and then only "maybe you could buy a lot and build a house and then sell it." Probably a decent book for the person who is just starting or wants to be on his own. A better title for this book is "Start Your Own Construction Business".

A much better choice for experienced contractors is "Be A Successful Land Developer".
