About the Book
Remodelers across the country have learned that the surest way to deliver a successful job is to give it the full-time, undivided attention of a skilled, quality-conscious lead carpenter. Complete with a step-by-step system, case studies, and more than 100 computerized forms, The Lead Carpenter System demonstrates how assigning a lead carpenter to each job can produce healthy profits and happy customers. Find out how successful remodeling firms have adapted this bottom-up production management system to ensure high-quality, on-time, on-budget execution of each job.

This practical guide will show you how to set up your company's lead carpenter system, select and hire high-quality lead carpenters, and maintain communications between your office and job sites. More than 100 pages of time-saving forms are included on computer disk, so you can begin using them immediately to establish or refine your lead carpenter system:

  • Hiring Forms and Tests
  • Job Descriptions
  • Performance Evaluation Forms
  • Preconstruction Guides and Checklists
  • Tracking Special Orders and Trade Contractors
  • Lead Carpenter and Job Progress Reports and Logs
  • Work Assessment and Inspection Checklists

Author Wendy A. Jordan is senior contributing editor of Professional Remodeler, writes frequently for Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publications, and is former editor-in-chief of Remodeling. She was awarded the prestigious Jesse H. Neal Editorial Achievement .
