Where Do We Go From Here?

Where do we go from here? Do we continue to build as though land, material, and energy resources are endless? Do we continue to make trip after trip to the landfill with construction waste? Do we continue to pay higher and higher prices as material supplies dwindle? Or do we move into the next century as confident construction professionals, making profitable use of new technology and techniques?

Does this book have all the answers? No, of course not. But I do hope it moves you toward a new mindset, an attitude that considers the future impact of decisions made today. That's what this book is all about. I hope the new products and construction tips I've included here will help get your creative juices flowing and to put you in the forefront of 21st century construction.
