About the Author

I have 30 years construction experience, which includes multimillion dollar projects, such as stadiums, shopping malls, roads, reservoirs, bridges and houses. But, importantly, I've owned and lived in several houses. I've employed contractors to renovate and repair some of these. In this time I've seen many mistakes which should have been avoided. Yet, I've also been exposed to many good ideas and excellent construction work. I've also made my own errors and learnt from them. I hate seeing bad construction projects, those of poor quality, where people have been injured, which were over budget and in some cases didn't satisfy the owner's requirements. I want to make every construction project successful - as they all should be. To pass on my experience and knowledge I've written several construction books including, 'Successful Construction Project Management: The Practical Guide' and 'Construction Management: From Project Concept to Completion'. Readers of these books said: "Really a good practical guide," "Great book, offers excellent insight," "Well written and easy to read!" I want to help you make your construction project a success
