About this title

Synopsis

Dear reader:  

Even though I wrote this book, I would like to strongly recommend you do not buy it, but purchase my newer book instead. Here's why: The book shown here is described as  a 1998 book, but it was actually written in 1991!  The only thing that was changed in 1998 was the cover.  The 1991 book, which is what you are really getting when you buy this book, is outdated. You will be much better off spending your money and your time on my newer book, titled Running a Successful Construction Company. It's the one with the black cover that features a photo of  two guys setting a steel beam. It is a stronger book all around. 

You might also enjoy my new book, Crafting the Considerate House (2010), which is available here on Amazon.  

   Sincerely, David Gerstel

About the Author

Respected nationally for his books about house building and construction company management, David Gerstel has been a licensed builder for 35 years. His interests date back to his childhood and undergraduate days. An avid builder of tree houses during his elementary school years in North Carolina, he served as editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper at Brandeis University near Boston. After college he set out to learn a trade, becoming a master carpenter and founding a construction company that rapidly earned respect for its upfront business practices and the integrity of its work. David's books are widely admired for their depth of research, expertise, readability, and humour. Along with his work, he enjoys tennis and reading about history, financial and environmental issues, and building design and construction as well as (especially) spending time with his wife Sandra.
