You'll learn the up-front essentials to getting your project off to a solid start. You'll get financial and legal details in language you can understand. Learn the ins and outs of selecting a lot, dealing with suppliers, labor and subcontractors, safety, inspections, and saving money so you can manage with authority, confidence and efficiency. You'll be walked through preconstruction, foundations, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, masonry, siding, insulation, drywall, trim, painting, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile and landscaping. Also included is the most comprehensive building resources section ever compiled. The appendix includes schedules, checklists, order forms, control logs and contracts you can't be without. Review: will never be without this one - Not only is this book thorough, it has the detail you need to get results. The tables help in calculations; the checklists help you keep organized. The author offers alternatives, suggestions, good advice, and tells how to avoid common pitfalls. It is professionally written, easy to follow, and thorough. I wish I had had this book when I started my first major construction project (24 x 50 -3 story with solar heat) in 1979. I now have half a dozen building projects behind me, and am finishing restoring an elegant Queen Anne. I just purchased another 'handyman special' Queen Anne, and am designing my retirement home. By the time I finish those, this book will show a lot of wear! Review: Great How-To Book! - I was apprehensive to begin contracting my home but this book makes the process easy to understand and let me know what I'm in for. I now understand that this is a mammoth undertaking of time, organization, and money but it is also easy to understand at a supervisor level. The perspective that the book takes is that you do not need to learn how to do each step in the process; you just need to know the sequence and whether it was done well. The check lists for each step are great. Disclaimer: I have not started my project yet so I can't be sure yet how well this book has prepared me. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,118,224 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #154 in Contracting How-to & Home Improvement | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 87 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Guide to Contracting Your Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C99WFwkHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ will never be without this one *by J***. on June 2, 2014* Not only is this book thorough, it has the detail you need to get results.
