But in quality of work and material, in speed and resourcefulness, each contractor fulfilled all conditions, thus giving him the rightful title of Master Builder.

Download or read book We ll Call You If We Need You written by Susan Eisenberg and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Eisenberg began her apprenticeship with Local 103 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in 1978, the year president Jimmy Carter set goals and timetables for the hiring of women on federally assisted construction projects and for the inclusion of women in apprenticeship programs. Eisenberg expected not only a challenging job and the camaraderie of a labor union but also the chance to be part of a historic transformation, social and economic, that would make the construction trades accessible to women. That transformation did not happen. In this book, full of the raw drama and humor found on a construction site, Eisenberg gracefully weaves the voices of thirty women who worked as carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, painters, and plumbers to examine why their numbers remained small. Speaking as if to a friend, women recall their decisions to enter the trades, their first days on the job, and their strategies to gain training and acceptance. They assess with thought, passion, and twenty years' perspective the affirmative action efforts. Eisenberg introduces this new edition with a preface that shows how things have changed and how they have stayed the same since the book’s original publication. She ends with a discussion of the practices and policies that would be required to uproot gender barriers where they are deeply embedded in the organization and culture of the workplace.
Download or read book Building Construction and Superintendence Vol 2 written by Frank Eugene Kidder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-03 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building-Construction and Superintendence, Vol. 2: Ninth Edition, Revised; Carpenters' Work The illustrations may not be considered as models of draughtsmanship, but on a small scale are such as are usually required in making working draw ings and in explaining the method of construction to be pursued. It is hoped that their value may be in proportion to the labor and thought that have been expended upon them. The various materials employed by the carpenter, or with which he usually has to do, have also been carefully considered, with the view of enabling the architect and builder to employ them wisely, and to distinguish between the various kinds and qualities. An especial effort has been made, in describing different forms of con struction, not to follow entirely the methods of one section of the country, but rather to give the different methods pursued by different architects and in different localities, contrast them, and bring out their relative advantages. In this the author has been greatly assisted by many prominent architects, and by his own experience in both the Eastern and Western portions of the country. The method of paragraphing the subjects followed in Part I has been retained, partly for convenience in making cross references and also for greater convenience in the class room. Much pains have been taken to make the Index as complete as possible, using the most suggestive terms, so that any subject may readily be found.

Download or read book Modern Management Applied to Construction Classic Reprint written by Daniel J. Hauer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Management Applied to Construction Andrew Carnegie is credited with saying that if he had to lose his plants or his organization, he would prefer to lose the former; for they could be replaced more quickly than his organization. This is especially true of contracting. The building of an organization for this work means years of effort. Contractors just starting in the business quickly realize this; the older men in the field know that hundred per cent efficiency in any contracting organization is seldom reached. The principles of modern management should leave nothing for chance to decide. Therefore, the successful contractor of today must break away from old inefficient methods and practise modern ways. To do this calls for real leadership. In mechanical lines much has been done to try out this new leadership - to adopt scientific management and establish new standards for a greater efficiency in manufacturing. It has been thought that these principles, so successfully applied in the manufacturing field, are not applicable to engineering and architectural construction. This idea, however, has been proven erroneous by the successful work of those pioneers in the contracting field. The author's experience as a construction economist covering the past decade has taught him that scientific management is applicable to construction - he has applied and is applying the principles of such management with a fair degree of success. This treatise is the result of the author's experience. It is offered to the profession with the hope that engineers and contractors can build up and strengthen their organizations for greater efficiency, making possible the earning of larger profits.

Download or read book Busy Hands written by Isabelle F. Bowker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Busy Hands: Construction Work for Children One purpose of this book is to make clearer the subjects which may be studied in connection with language or history. Children are delighted to make any article. They enter into construction work with the utmost zeal. In this volume the author has sought to direct this natural interest of the child in such a way that its studies will be more clearly understood. For example: Let a teacher select The Indians, for a language or history lesson. The children will learn to talk readily about those people, but after a class has constructed a Wigwam, the customs of the Indians will be more real. Those children who get ideas slowly from the oral word will probably have their first clear conception of Indian life after construct ing a canoe. The book has another purpose. Few children get ideas readily from the printed page. Busy Hands may be used to overcome that difficulty. If each child in a class had a copy of the book, and was told to make an article by doing just what the book said, sentence by sentence, the children would soon develop power to grasp the meaning from other printed material. That the children may be helped in the ways set forth is the wish of the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
