Having been in the industry for over 41 years and worked on hundreds of projects ranging from small jobs to building new homes, I've seen my share of the good, the bad, and the ugly. My industry has more than its fair share of horror stories, and I recently read that we're considered just a step up from used car salespeople. Even though the vast majority of general contractors are competent and hardworking people, I've seen too many rip-offs, too much bad workmanship, and too many disappointed homeowners. A lot of them have asked for my advice on how to get the job done, and in addition to being a builder, I consult with people all over the continent (and increasingly from other parts of the world) who want to manage their own projects. Being a general contractor isn't rocket science, but no one has explained the job the way I see it and also provided on-demand consulting services to anyone in the world who wants help. That's why I wrote this book. It will give you all the basics you need to take control of your own project and see it to a successful completion. After reading my book, you may decide that you'd be better off hiring someone, and that's okay. At least you'll be much more knowledgeable than the typical homeowner. I've seen far too many people overpay for their jobs and get less quality than they should.
