Product Review Summary: Good Start This book is great for someone just starting a business, I have been in the business for 10 years so most of it I was already doing, let me know I was on the right path. Good book to read before you start a construction business.
Product Review Summary: Excellent Book for Contractors This is the book i was looking for and I got what I payed for. I started reading and I couldn't stop until I finished, having a new construction company the author gave me all I need to run my business, excellent.
Product Review Summary: A practical guide This is a basic book, suitable for technical colleges, but not at university level. The author shares with you his experiences on running a small niche construction business, the dos and don'ts, throughout the entire project cycle. What it lacks is depth (so I knocked off one star), because each topic is often dealt with in one or two pages. But it made up by sharing some gems of wisdom. If you are looking for serious stuff, such as detailed cost estimating for bids or variation orders, this book is not for you. But if you are looking for a basic guide, this book is worth a look.
Product Review Summary: Great Overview This book provides a great foundation and overview of the construction industry as well as guiding the reader through the ends and outs of some of the finer details. Potential readers should review the book's index to get an idea of how thorough this book is. Great read!
Product Review Summary: Awesome Author Recommended Highly This book is the source to all of your questions regarding Construction Management. This is a "must buy" all the way! The teachings of this book are valid and mandatory for all Builders, Sub Contractors, and General Contractors. If you want to do things right and boost your potential, than read this book.
