Worked out great for taking my tests. Not too interesting but it serves its purpose.

This how-to guide will teach new contractors the very basics of underground construction work.
Good Book 2007-03-17
I suppose that some of my trade secrets are no longer "secrets", as I stumbled across them while reading Pipe and Excavation Contracting. It's a good book - I have no complaints.
Engineer, New Contractor 2007-01-12
The book was OK, but it's very basic. Too much of the book had elementary chapters and too little meat I think. If you never did any underground work this book is good...for those that have there's probally a better one out there..I haven't found it so I'm not sure. The book had mostly on how to operate a backhoe, how to dig around utilities and stuff. I was looking for surveying hints..there were some but not much. I probally should have looked for a surveying book..but that would make too much sense.
Excellent 2007-01-11
Not too hard to comprehend. This was suggested reading for the Louisiana General Contractors License Exam. I found it informative.
From the ground-up 2006-01-15
This book is heavy. The lightest, easiest reading is in the index - from there on it's strictly business and takes you through the very bowels of the whole business.
You could literally start, run and retire from the business with this book as a guide. It is very in-depth.
