Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Oriented toward the individual contractor rather than the big construction company, presents rationales and methods for accounting and financial management to control costs and deal with auditing and tax considerations. Incorporates the 1986 and 1987 tax legislation, including the impact on personal income tax. Discusses new computer applications, claims and litigation for additional compensation, back charges, timekeeping, joint- venture overhead, and other aspects of making the business profitable. First published in 1958 and most recently revised in 1989. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
