Construction Industry, The: Processes, Players, and Practices

Summary: the perfect overview book for INtro to Constru Class
Review: This book is wonderful in its content. I especially like the way it chapeters separate into the overview (sorta History) and then the players and then the process and then communications. It has very good examples of things like specifications and partial drawings. it has exmple questions. it has very good charts and lists. But what I liked the most is the balanced portrayal of the players such as which contract method is preferred by say the architect and which most benefits the Construction Manager. We are using it for our Intr to Constr Tech Class. Saves me from copying info from several dif sources.
