This book is a lexicon of site-work. As a busy commercial real estate finance executive, I don't have time to wade through an engineering textbook to find answers to critical underwriting questions. Preparing Projects for Site Construction provides practical solutions to site construction problems that invariably arise. The nice thing about this book is that it lets you "dial in" the degree of detail needed based on your level of involvement and expertise. For construction professionals in need of greater understanding, it's all there for them in an easy-to-access format. It's this aspect that makes Preparing Projects for Site Construction so versatile.

In thirty years of land development, I have never seen such a comprehensive tool for planning site construction and project startup. The principles outlined in this book will help even the most experienced developer better manage the many risks inherent in developing raw land and producing lots.

A treasure-trove of suggestions, recommendations, tips, and examples for anyone who owns or shares a private driveway, as well as anyone who designs, builds, or maintains roadways. Highly informative and entertaining.

A well-written and informative book for people who have to deal with road repair issues.

Straight-forward, witty, and a comprehensive presentation that will prove invaluable to landowners, professionals, and land use attorneys.
