I am going to be a better client for my architect and contractor because of what the author has explained in this book. This book is the best investment we will make in planning our new home.

If you're going to build or renovate the more information you have in advance the better the experience is likely to be both for you and your builder. It really spells out some of the simple things you can do to help your project succeed. My favourite tip is about thinking ahead for the future - e.g if you can't build all the extension in one go what could you do this time to cut the costs next time e.g. framing a door into the room that won't be built for a while and hiding it with drywall.

This book is a detailed and practical guide to the process of building or remodeling that every owner needs before starting. Best I've read in terms of working with the key players and protecting your interests. Rating: 5 / 5 Very well organized and in depth.
