Product Review Summary: Nailed It! I run a company that generates around 4 to 6 Million a year for the last seven years, and we have been thinking about the commercial industry for aproximately a year now. By shear luck, I did a search on Amazon and "Moving to Commercial Construction" was the first book that popped up. I normally do not just "buy" a book but it intrigued me.
Stephan S. Saucerman absolutely nailed it for us, in fact I thought he was talking about our company! Written in clear simple english, well laid out, and I believe to be very thorough. Mr. Saucerman has a wit about him that keeps you interested. You can tell he's a guy that came from the field, which helps tremendously. Not only did it convince me we are on the right path but I have purchased two more copies for my Project Manager and Controller to have, and read as well.
Thanks Stephan for doing a great Job, I would look forward to follow up books of any kind from you!
