About the book Introduction to Construction: From Inception to Evaluation is a primer for all people entering the construction industry and related disciplines. Following a chronological approach to the building process, the reader is introduced to the technical and management aspects, offering a broad view of the industry as well as specific tasks needed to complete a project. Using an easy-to-read, conversational writing style, Ralph Liebing distills the often complex procedures in the construction of architecture into understandable concepts. Connecting each process to the next, whether documentation with the bidding process, or the delivery system with the scheduling, the author clearly explains the flow of work on a typical construction project. No other survey offers such as broad look at the entire building process as demonstrated in a typical commercial construction project.
