Title: Be a Successful Residential Land Developer by R. Dodge Woodson ISBN: 0-07-134160-9 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional Pub. Date: 01 January, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $34.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.14 (7 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Intro to development that could be half as long
Comment: A fairly useful overview that describes the issues a developer has to address, but not much about how to address them. For some reason the author tends to repeat himself. He says something and then restates it. He makes the same point twice.
He also tends to be rather vague: "Some aspects of site supervision can be dealt with in many ways. Some ways are more cost-effective than others." The book is full of statements like this.
I have found the book useful to help me identify issues that I need to think about, but if you are looking for answers--this book isn't for you. It should be titled, "What to Expect as a Land Developer."
Rating: 4
Summary: great start
Comment: Woodson doesn't tell the reader how to survey, do his/her own drawings, tell how to design a curb and gutter system. I didn't expect him to! He does walk you through how to get started on the path to be a land developer, including who and/or where to go for the details you will need to get further information, as well as the long list of subjects and details the potential developer needs to consider and explore.
Rating: 1
Summary: Disappointed reader
Comment: This is the worst 'How To' book I have ever read...The author never makes a definitive statement about anything. Instead he says you could do this or that, hire someone or do it yourself, blah blah blah. He rambles on about the same subjects repetitively to fill up the pages. I feel like I have not learned anything of any use after reading the entire book. What a major disappointment!
