To the many people who have purchased this book and used it to launch their career in construction, transition into management from the field, or used it to begin their studies as they prepare for a career in construction—one of the most rewarding and impactful paths a person can follow .

No great accomplishment ever happens in a vacuum. There are always a lot of people behind the scenes who deserve much of the credit for any good thing that makes it to the light of day. I believe this book is one of those good things, and it would never have happened without the hard work and dedication of several people.
