The House Plus™ Construction Management System was created by two exceptionally qualified builders to help other builders and construction managers build homes and other type buildings better-faster. To become familiar with the system, we recommend you purchase the main House Plus™ book. Then before you begin construction, we recommend you purchase Booklet 1 and Booklet 2 to become more familiar with the entire system. As you need to manage additional houses or other type small buildings, order Booklet 3, Booklet 4, and/or Booklet 5 as your needs require.
Please keep in mind, we have found it is often easier and better in many respects for a construction manager to use paper construction aids than it is to use the aids on a computer, especially on the job site or when in his or her vehicle.

House Plus™ main book
This is the main book that describes and defines the House Plus™ Construction Management System. The House Plus™ Construction Management system was primarily created by an exceptional builder and construction manager to help themselves and other builders and managers construct homes better-faster. They developed the system so they could produce houses or other type small buildings smoothly and economically — like clockwork.
Many hours were invested over a period of several years to formulate their practical experience into viable methods that helped them deal much more personally and effectively with their suppliers and subcontractors … and to develop special CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AIDS that helped them understand and schedule the natural sequential process of construction more efficiently.
The result was a finely-tuned, well-thought-out, thoroughly tested process that produced houses so smoothly that their suppliers, subcontractors, competitors and colleagues were amazed. The system worked so well they found they could build residential homes at a rate of sixty to ninety per year — and be done with their management duties by 11 AM on most working days.
To use the House Plus™ System effectively we recommend that you purchase and understand the main House Plus book, as well as the associated Booklets 1 and 2 HOUSE PLUS™ CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AIDS.
