Review

This book has great descriptions and pictures of the terms. It is taylored mostly toward the building industry and less toward transportation and heavy civil, but it still has some terms concerning those in it.

Construction Dictionary Review

I am a professional in the construction industry and still find this book to be a great help.....

handy

I wish I had this book when I first started working after school. You will probably never part with it as it is a very good and handy reference book. Sometimes it's very difficult to imagine some new word that's defined with some small definition but at least some words have pictures to aid in the description. Overall still very good.

Great Book for Constrcution...

This book is amazing. Still being in school, it has helped me in my internships. There is only so much you learn in school and this book has everything else. I would recommend it to anyone. A++
