Build It Right: Supervising the Construction of Your Home

Poor workmanship & cheap construction mar far too many building projects, disappointing the homeowners who are paying for the poor work & detracting from the value of their real estate. But now, Kenneth Petrocelly has written a guide to help homeowners obtain the best possible work from contractors they hire. Build It Right has the potential to save homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs because it tells them exactly what to look out for during every building state, so they can prevent problems from happening in the first place. Petrocelly explains how to hire a reliable contractor, shows how to devise a building schedule, explains what documents to keep, describes construction tools & materials, & defines common construction terms. An inspection checklist is included to help readers make sure they get everything they're paying for.
