This book should be required reading for anyone who is thinking about building or renovating a house. The savings involved can make the difference between dreaming about that dream house and actually building it.

The 5th edition has been fully updated and includes Carl Heldmann's new Web site, where readers can get loan information, daily updates on interest rates, and cost estimate worksheets for planning and tracking building expenses. Other new features include new chapters on renovating and restoring an older house and a Spanish glossary of building terms.
