Profit First for Contractors addresses the major struggles contractors face and provides clear and actionable guidance on how to overcome them. Shawn shows contractors how to go from simply getting by to becoming permanently profitable. This book is for every construction business owner who dreams of prosperity. Using Van Dyke's Profit First for Contractors system, readers will learn how to break out of the "craftsman cycle" - the seemingly never-ending loop of urgent tasks and responsibilities that keep contractors from gaining traction toward their important goals. He guides construction business owners how to understand their financial statements and how to use them to determine the markup and margin that lead to profits. You will also learn hot to develop solid rules of thumb for the operation of your construction businesses, and how to implement an effective cash management plan that simplifies accounting and leverages normal human behavior. Using real-life stories from actual construction business owners, step-by-step advice, and his conversational twang, Van Dyke puts permanent profitability within reach of every construction business owner.

Download or read book The Culture of Building written by Howard Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-12 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Culture of Building describes how the built world, including the vast number of buildings that are the settings for peoples everyday lives, is the product of building cultures--complex systems of people, relationships, building types, techniques, and habits in which design and building are anchored. These cultures include builders, bankers, architects, developers, clients, contractors, craftspeople, building inspectors, planners, and many others. The product of these cultures, which operate building after building, is the built world of cities and settlements. In this book, Howard Davis uses historical, contemporary, and cross-cultural examples to describe the nature and influence of these cultures. He shows how building cultures reflect the general cultures in which they exist, how they have changed over history, how they affect the form of buildings and cities, and how present building cultures, which are responsible for the contemporary everyday environments, may be improved. Following the development of the idea of building cultures using several historical examples, the book lays out a framework that puts such topics as craft and professionalism, the vernacular and nonvernacular, and design and construction in common frameworks. Although the book ranges widely over different cultures and historical periods, it emphasizes the transformations that took place in architecture and building practice from the late eighteenth century to the present. Finally, the book uses a series of contemporary examples that demonstrate the building culture as a living concept. These examples, which include built work as well as innovative processes that go beyond the work of architects alone, are described as the seeds that can help the emergence of a better build world. This beautiful book features over 260 color and black-and-white illustrations, most from the authors extensive collection of slides, and includes photographs, prints, and drawings from historical archives and contemporary architectural offices.

Download or read book Home-sweet Custom Home written by Bud Plone and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bud Plone's book, Home - Sweet Custom Home, is not merely a “How To” book, but is a strong consumer advocacy primer created for a large segment of the population — those who hire the people to design and build for them. The vocational switch from flying Navy torpedo bombers to driving a pickup truck while designing and building houses was a big leap, even for a member of The Greatest Generation. For five decades the author was involved in every facet of what he calls because of its resistance to change, “The Jurassic Park of American Industries.” From adding rooms and remodeling he graduated to building small houses mostly designed for ordinary people for whom it was a stretch to reach beyond the boxy tracts of the late forties and early fifties. He formed a building corporation, became a licensed building contractor, later a developer and registered architect. As his company's list of satisfied customers expanded, the contracts were often with the rich and famous as well as with the not so rich and famous. As a “hands-on people-oriented person,” he selected associates and partners wisely which enabled him to spend more personal time with the building craftsmen and the customers who made the successes possible. Bud Plone's professional experience covered the broadest of spectrums in every way. The company built on varied types of terrain; literally from the mountains to the sea. He and his associates designed and constructed for a variety of age groups in a wide range of economic standing and an even broader range of family status and personalities. Projects were done in dozens of designated political areas (i.e. cities, townships, counties, neighborhoods) each with its own rules, codes, prejudices and agendas. This wasn't always easy, especially with the advent of more and more environmentally sensitive opposition to development. Cooperation, along with reasonable concessions and respect to those opposed usually worked in a manner that allowed Plone's company to do their job and leave any area with respect for further integrity and professionalism intact. The author served a number of years as a director of an American Stock Exchange company which was located in New York. He consulted on many matters involving construction and real estate nationwide. Eventually he designed and built some major hotels, shops, restaurants, a hilltop school, condominium projects and a golf course resort with a “hands on” policy all the way. While all this was going on a division of the company kept intact the first love: Custom Homes. One might question why a person who had spent decades creating and expanding a business operation would choose the role of consumer advocate in writing a book. The answer is simple. Bud has never lost the common touch. His business policies have, from the beginning, been to every extent practical, to be considerate of needs, dreams, imagination and entitlements of the customers. The goal of his book is to alert clients of architect, builders, craftsmen, bankers and real estate agents just what their entitlements are. He believes and delivers the advice that can help anyone make their dream house experience an enjoyable rewarding activity. Knowing how to sidestep the many potential obstacles is part of the process. Bud's background was perfect for developing patience and empathy. He was born during tough times and grew up in an ethnically diverse neighborhood of mostly working class people. Very early in life he showed interest in and a talent for art and a love for athletics. He also appreciated and learned the value of love, friendship, humor, the power of education and the respect for work and honest value. It was not unusual in the climate of the depression era for a strong kid to work at a job, c

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an overview of specifying, from selecting materials and products to writing the specification documents, Specifying Buildings is a new guide to this important part of the construction process. Where it differs from most books is in covering the management of the specification process, making sure that the design intent is transferred to the building assembly as specified. Covering a wide range of practices, Stephen Emmitt and David Yeomans have ensured the book has global relevance with specific differences between UK, Australia and the US identified. Case studies demonstrate how specifying works in practice. This book will prove invaluable to students of building, construction and architecture as well as professionals in the industry.

Download or read book Portraits of the American Craftsman written by Tadd Myers and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stunning..." - Parade Magazine"A rare pictorial journey across America." - Bookpage Portraits of the American Craftsman is a collection of portraits of the people and products made in small workshops all over the country, with lyrical descriptions of what they make, who they are, and the tradition embedded in their trade. This book is a celebration of the handmade at a time when it’s being embraced by a new generation of DIY and local-focused consumers who are averse to the mass-produced. Award-winning photographer Tadd Myers is four years into a cross-country journey to capture images of the American craftsman engaged in his work. At a time when the public is growing disenchanted by the disposable items that litter the American landscape, the workers in Tadd’s portraits are still using human eyes to guide human hands; the objects they make carry the souls of their makers. His beautifully rendered photographs and profiles celebrate the thriving American culture of true craftsmanship, which is alive and well in all parts of the country: from the Steinway factory in Queens, NY to hatmakers in Tennessee; from a carousel works shop in Ohio to guitar makers in Texas; from hatmakers in Chicago to boatbuilders in Vermont. In the connected realm of photo-rich social media platforms such as Pinterest and Etsy, and in reaction to the mammoth corporations that create and sell us our wares, we’re seeing a boom of Americans of all ages re-evaluating the values that actually inspire them. Away from these conglomerates, the American craftsman keeps a different, more personal kind of work alive – work that is uniquely inspirational and genuine.

Download or read book Architecture and Abstraction written by Pier Vittorio Aureli and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark study of abstraction in architectural history, theory, and practice that challenges our assumptions about the meaning of abstract forms. In this theoretical study of abstraction in architecture—the first of its kind—Pier Vittorio Aureli argues for a reconsideration of abstraction, its meanings, and its sources. Although architects have typically interpreted abstraction in formal terms—the purposeful reduction of the complexities of design to its essentials—Aureli shows that abstraction instead arises from the material conditions of building production. In a lively study informed by Walter Benjamin, Karl Marx, Alfred Sohn-Rethel, and other social theorists, this book presents abstraction in architecture not as an aesthetic tendency but as a movement that arises from modern divisions of labor and consequent social asymmetries. These divisions were anticipated by the architecture of antiquity, which established a distinction between manual and intellectual labor, and placed the former in service to the latter. Further abstractions arose as geometry, used for measuring territories, became the intermediary between land and money and eventually produced the logic of the grid. In our own time, architectural abstraction serves the logic of capitalism and embraces the premise that all things can be exchanged—even experience itself is a commodity. To resist this turn, Aureli seeks a critique of architecture that begins not by scaling philosophical heights, but by standing at the ground level of material practice.
