What Your Contractor Can't Tell You by Amy Johnston

This book equips owners with the information and strategies needed to turn their vision into a home or renovation project that can be executed on time and within budget. Chapters give detailed coverage of critical topics: design options, selecting and supervising the architect and contractor, cost estimates, budgets, plan specifications, contracts, dealing with town officials and keeping track of everything along the way. For each stage of the project there is detailed information on common pitfalls and how to avoid them, as well as insiders' tips which reveal what most contractors can't tell you. This book was previously published by Warner Books (2004) and titled What the Experts May Not Tell You About Building or Renovating Your Home.

Amy Johnston is an owner's representative and construction manager. She grew up remodeling houses with her family before going on to build and renovate her own. Throughout the past two decades, Johnston has worked on behalf of owners to design and construct or renovate residential residences, affordable housing projects, historic downtown restorations, and commercial spaces. She has a unique viewpoint on the dynamics of effective design and construction as a liaison between the parties on so many projects.
