He knows a little about a lot
12 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
While I am only about 85% of the way through this book let me say that I have found some very informative material. I have also found some VERY VERY wrong information. As a financial advisor turned contractor I am currently in the "Planning for your future" chapter and have found some terrible advice. It leads me to believe that although he was a succesful builder and did well that he doesn't know when to shut-up about things he really has no idea about.
I have enjoyed the book so far but it really is outdated and needs to be revised or pulled off the shelf so that inexperienced builders do not use his "past there prime" ideas in todays market.
If you are in the market for industry books then you can do better. There are books out there that are much more current than this one. Buy a specialty book and stay away from the guys that think they know it all.

Great Start
28 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
As someone who hopes to become a home builder I found this book very helpful. The author answers many questions about the buisness side of the home building industry. It is a step by step guide, my only objection is that it did not go over the actual home building process (But I believe that was not his intended message, so I can not fault him for that.) I would read more books by this author.

Good Stuff
28 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good book. A solid value. This is a very versatile book, as it applies to all types of construction business. Its really about solid business practices(not strictly pertaining to building, although theres plenty about that in here). This book is very business oriented and covers quite a bit in the legal aspect as well. Good book with good templates. Finally i got some decent info on lein waivers. To those who arent computer savvy, chapter 17 is for you.
