LePatner is a lawyer and he sees a lot of nightmare projects in his practice. Unfortunately, LePatner doesn't see the successful projects, the ones which are finished on time, on budget and the clients are happy.I'm seeing a growing division between what happens in the field and what happens in the office. Technology has made the office more efficient and also more dependent. My fellow arm-chair managers are constantly at our desks, buried in e-mail, and married to our computers. We've invested time to learning mountains of software applications, but we've sacrificed our hands-on knowledge.The traditional career path for project managers has also changed, the old days of putting your time in the field has changed to putting your time in college, then starting to manage projects. From my personal college experience, I didn't spend much time bolting things together. We are transferring more of the coordination process from the office and moving it into the field.As things move to the field we're starting to deal with a lethal combination: rising labor costs and dropping productivity. Simply put, things are arriving in the field, but their not ready to be installed: now every minute is burning money.LePatner offers advice, which is dead on: an owner needs a qualified person to decipher the mountains of information and technical complexities, but I think it's time for the industry to start getting back to the basics: good projects come from great builders.
For anyone that is in the industry, nothing in the book should be a dramatic revelation. Construction is often fraught with delays, blown budgets and shoddy work, and many people in the industry accept this as standard practice, to be repeated on the next project.The author dissects the major issues facing construction, using good examples, and states his case for a more professional and disciplined approach to the building industry.Unfortunately, this book will most likely never make it into the hands of those who need it most, the smaller residential, and commercial contractors.
This book focuses more on large, commercial construction projects and the industry in general. If you are looking at a book for home construction or improvement this would not be my first choice. With that said, it offers a lot of insights in how the construction business operates, some of which is quite eye opening. The book includes good descriptions of types of construction contracts and offers sound advice on how to write a contract that benefits you as the customer.
One of the best book I have read regarding the problems in the construction industry. As an architect of over 25 years, I really learned so much about the asymmetrical information that contractors possess.
This book presents many facts and figures which show the state of the construction industry as one that is extremely broken. This is reflected in our nations structures and the lack of quality found in them. Mr. Lepatner frequently uses a condescending when discussing the industry, which gets old after a while. Other than that the book outlines a problem that the industry must address, and presents a few solutions which could very well be just what the construction industry needs.
Love love love this book! Finally a book that starts with fundamentals. It was recommended to me and I have been recommending it to my coworkers.
It did open my eyes to some things that have been going not so well in the construction industry. It was too much negative and too little hopeful ideas or progress.
Yeegads, this author thinks the construction industry should be more like the automobile industry as if somehow that would improve its performance. This premise is so misguided that it reduces the validity of the legitimate points he has to make. The fact of the matter is that the auto industry and the construction share many of the same characteristics.He comes at the subject from the point of view of someone who sues construction firms on behalf of owners all the time. It is a legitimate perspective for someone who is looking for more work, but it neglects to address the role of the owner in the flaws of the industry -- which is equally huge. If the owner suffers from imperfect information then it behooves him/her to find that information and understand the entirety of their construction needs. Caveat emptor.Many of his points are laudable though but in the end he misses the biggest problem that exists today within the segment of our economy that creates our built environment. That problem is the lack of leadership on the part of either the architect, the builder or the owner the result of which is that we continue to develop an incredibly inefficient infrastructure that is driving us down the road of resource depletion and environmental ruin (in a car).
