Customer Reviews

A great reference guide

I have bought several copies of this well laid-out book for the sales people in my remodeling firm. It has helped them understand the terms the installation teams and I use - frequently and infrequently. Additionally, it has helped the company to use the same designation for the same building part. You will find short, concise, easy to understand definitions of construction terms. Many in the company were surprised to have learned that they were calling particular items by the wrong names for years.
