This green building design and construction how-to book is written with contractors in mind, covering how green building practices affect project management, delivery, documentation, and risk.

It provides guides for all stages of construction, including bidding and contracting, managing green design, subcontracting, procurement, construction management, project commissioning and closeout. Instead of focusing on a specific green building rating system, it looks at the basics that are part of all systems.

This book is endorsed by the Associated General Contractors of America.
