Fessenbecker details the nine elements of his business product model, builds a flow-of-work model to show how a sales lead becomes a successfully completed project, and demonstrates how to set up quality production groups. Contractors will benefit from Fessenbecker’s expert guidance.” Dennis Rouse, Booklist, Journal of the American Library Association “This book makes solid business sense. The three clearly described business models demonstrate in great detail how a contracting business process should be set up and carried out. If you want to be successful in construction contracting, follow Fessenbecker’s excellent business process.” Advanced Business Matters, Inc. Bernard and Karen Barcellos “Gene explains many complex economic, legal, and business concepts in clear everyday language readily understood by any reader. The process organization of the book allows for comfortable reading from beginning to end or spot checking specific areas of interest. This will likely become the standard by which similar works are judged.” Lyndon Duke, Language Analyst Adversity Research “Construction is a risky, complex business. Seeing the whole picture is important for not only the entrepreneur wanting to start up a construction company but also for the owners of companies who need to fine-tune their existing construction business.
