Construction Nightmares
Jobs From Hell and How to Avoid Them

by Arthur F. O'Leary & James Acret

ISBN 155701 2989

 

 

This book in highly informative and easy to read. I bought it at the International Home Builder's Show in Atlanta in 2001 and read it on the way home. It is a real page turner.

The book tells the stories of jobs gone wrong in an entertaining way. The owner's wife nagged him into making a bad decision, etc. The stories are also analyzed, explaining construction practice and law.

This mix of amusing stories and text book is a great teaching method.
  I was inspired to try the method in our company manuals.
