DESCRIPTION:
"Standard Book" according to Lucas Hoops. Sometimes the answers in the back of the book are wrong. Makes you double check. Overall good and standard book. Nice blurbs on real architects and buildings used.. "Hard to Follow" according to bdupuyHard to Follow bdupuy4 Had this book for a Construction Management course. The book does a poor job at explaining concepts. The examples in the book are often very hard to follow. I would not recommend this book to anyone not already familiar with engineering concepts. The book was the required text for my course, which turned out to be pretty painful, mostly because the text was so hard to follow. Most students in the course had to rely on YouTube vide. .
