BuilderBooks.com Has New Resources Available at IBS

BuilderBooks.com will have several new titles — books, forms and software — available at the 2007 International Builders’ Show in Orlando that will help you improve your business and protect your workers. In addition, free shipping* is available for BuilderBooks.com purchases at the show.

These new titles include:

• “Casa Y Comunidad: Latino Home and Neighborhood Design” — takes the first-ever look at the housing needs of a growing and increasingly prosperous U.S. Latino community. Henry G. Cisneros, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and founder and chairman of CityView, brought together a dozen contributors, including builders, developers, planners, designers and financiers, to share their expertise and experiences serving this market.
  
  
• “Defensive Estimating: Protecting Your Profits” — provides profit-protecting methods for estimating jobs by reviewing and modifying business processes, reducing carelessness or shortsighted and defending each estimate line to achieve a planned, consistent and bankable profit.
  
  
• “Scheduling for Home Builders With Microsoft® Project” — this step-by-step guide helps builders navigate the scheduling process by demonstrating various methods for keeping projects on schedule and budget while coordinating resources, staff and materials. A CD-ROM is included with practice materials and sample schedules that are related to the skills presented in each chapter.
  
  
• “Selling to Builders, Second Edition” — this second edition includes a companion CD with exercises that help you evaluate your current business practices and guide you to become an even more successful salesperson. Also on the CD are easy-to-use business forms that will bolster the amount of business you are doing with builders. This book comes hot off the presses at the builders' show.
