Third Edition.
Do you want to improve your house but are unsure of how to employ tradespeople to do the job you want? Are you postponing overdue maintenance because of bad experiences with workers in the past?
Whether you are planning a major renovation or employing a painter, installing a pool or a skylight, re-roofing your house or the shed out the back, you can protect yourself against the pitfalls of shoddy work practices - and learn to appreciate the skills of genuine tradespeople - with 'The Choice Guide To Building & Renovating On Time & On Budget'.
This is a book for anyone who owns a house, or intends to buy, build or renovate one. It describes in plain language what should happen during building or renovating jobs, and the best way of directing those you employ to build, maintain or improve your home.
Now fully revised and in its third edition, this bestseller balances practical considerations with "greener" options for building or renovating, which in these times of increasing environmental awareness, means you can carry out home improvements with a clear conscience.
