Trade Review'Undertaking a building or renovation project can be daunting, but this book provides everything you need to know in an easy to follow step-by-step guide.' PERIOD IDEAS 'The author's plain speaking style has produced a clear guide through a potential minefield, which will give you the confidence to get the job done.' SEAN O'NEILL, MANAGING DIRECTOR HARRY NEAL (CITY) LTD 'Aimed at the lay client this book gives a practical step-by-step insight on matters that even experts in this field frequently fail to appreciate. Project management is partly about methodology and partly common sense. This straight forward guide is a refreshing approach to a diverse subject and keeps both of these factors in perspective.'
