We are at the begining stages of learning about dealing with builders. We reviewed many books on this subject. Traditionally, I cannot stand anything referring to "Dummies" as I feel it not positive, but this book is filled with great information and I highly recommend it.

I am always a fan of anything that puts the complexities of the world back into your hands. That Rocket Science for Dummies was totally awesome! LOL!
This is one of many that better be on your shelf as a beginnig research tool, if you are planning on building a home. It tends to be repetitious about needing massive amounts of money though. It is not that creative about any of processes. It is very straight to the point.
I do own it and it is a great reference that I had to MAKE myself read.

This book has exhaustive information about building a home employing a general constructor and sub-contractors. It's more useful as a reference. I say that because of the way it's organized. It's not a sequential read, and has no logical beginning or ending. I bought this book hoping to understand each step that goes into building a home. However, this book is NOT about that. It's more about effectively dealing with things that come along in each step.
