The Fundamentals of Contracting Kit pairs two construction essentials into one convenient package. This bundle includes Principles of Contracting and the Building Trades Dictionary.
Principles of Contracting provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of the construction contracting process. This textbook addresses all aspects of the contracting process, including construction project participants, business types, project types, project financing, building codes and sustainability, construction documents, project management, and jobsite safety.
Building Trades Dictionary is a comprehensive reference for tradesworkers. Building trades, basic engineering, and architectural terms are presented in a highly illustrated, concise format. Emphasis is placed on construction tools and equipment, materials, and processes. Similar to a standard dictionary format, terms are defined, synonyms are identified, and illustrations are provided. Over 1500 terms have been added to this edition and existing terms have been revised to reflect changes in the industry.
A CD-ROM is included with Building Trades Dictionary and contains a Custom Dictionary for Microsoft® Products that includes a searchable database of building trades terms, an alphabetical display of terms, and a mini pop-up application window for searching the database of terms without running the full application.
