Review: This book scared the sh*t out of me! - I've been in the land-lording business for a while and have some experience developing small real estate projects too. I've always wanted to be a builder and feel I'm at a position now to venture into a side business of construction. Hey, isn't being a builder a dream for many boys, and the boy inside of us may never grow up? This book cured my desire for now. Construction could be such a high-risk endeavor, I realized after reading this book. The only reason I have not been burned in my developing is that I've kept projects small and only did them in my own backyard. I've seen much bigger developer went belly up during the 2007-2008 period, in my own hometown.He was never able to re-enter this business again. Construction business is very much like the restaurant business in the sense it needs your constant supervision. Except that construction is so much more high-risk than owning a restaurant. In the latter, you don't change a location with each job, and constantly face new unknowns. Once you hit page 33 and read the first case study in the book, you know what you have in hand is gold. Whether you are in the construction industry already or are a wannabe, this book will somber you up, and make you much less likely to fail--if you re-read the book often. ## Features - Hardcover - Language: English - Author: Schleifer, Thomas C. - Number of Pages: 288 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 50 Reviews | ## Images ![Managing the Profitable Construction Business: The Contractor's Guide to Success and Survival Strategies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aOptY2gEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good content for anyone in a management role in the ... *by N***. on 30 January 2018* Good content for anyone in a management role in the construction business.

The common sense approach and many useful tips Dr. Schliefer outlines will help many contractors from making expensive mistakes. Just as importantly it shows them how to be more profitable in both good and bad times, His ideas on accelerated overhead control are especially germane in these troubling times. ## Frequently Bought Together - Managing the Profitable Construction Business: The Contractor's Guide to Success and Survival Strategies - Building a Successful Construction Company: The Practical Guide - Get Your Construction Business To Always Make A Profit!: The BIZ-BUILDER BLUEPRINT For Contractors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/447261345-managing-the-profitable-construction-business-the-contractors-guide-to-success](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/447261345-managing-the-profitable-construction-business-the-contractors-guide-to-success) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
