"Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction by Andres and Smith does a very good job in covering the major areas involved with commercial construction at a level consistent with its intended audience. It is well organized, well written, and includes helpful sketches and photos." ― Felix T. Uhlik, Georgia Institute of Technology
