Reviews

This book tells how to secure financing for a building project and overseeif not directly supervisethe work of builders and contractors. It begins with such relevant topics as legal and financial matters including surveys, deeds, liens, mortages, performance bonds, and even workman's compensation. A transitional chapter summarily describes about 30 distinct styles of housing. The remaining chapters each cover a different phase of the building processnot in great detailbut enough to impart basic concepts and enable one to direct informed questions to contractors. The wide-ranging information is basically sound; more encylopedic in treatment than just a guidebook. Recommended for public libraries. Bill Demo, Tompkins Cortland Community Coll., Dryden, N.Y.
