How to avoid building or remodeling hell: The consumer's guide

by Richard Connolly

Have you ever found yourself saying, "if I had only known the question, I would have asked it?" What would it be like to have in one place all the questions you need to ask of local town officials, utilities, retailers, engineers, architects or designers, contractors - virtually anyone - involved in the residential construction industry? This insightful and practical book by consumer advocate Richard Connolly contains the actual questions you should ask in the very order you need. You won't be going around in circles because The Consumer's Guide is a research tool for consumers who want objective answers before making important decisions. It's a roadmap to a successful project for the driver, not the driven. You become the hammer, not the nail. No other publication articulates the pre-construction process that can determine the fate of your project. The book can save you time, money, and endless aggravation while putting you in charge of what you need to know and when you need to learn it.
