Design & Construction Editorial Review
This book titled "Building Construction: Project Management, Construction Administration, Drawings, Specs, Detailing Tips, Schedules, Checklists, and Secrets Others Don't" has received mixed reviews from its readers. While some have found it to be a valuable resource for students, others believe it to be too basic for professionals in the industry. One customer pointed out that the information in the book can be found readily available online. The book seems to have failed to meet the expectations of a professional Architect who returned it for a refund. However, a student recommends the book to others on his course.
