The success of the industry is a testimonial of the combined expertise of these individuals and firms. Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction is only made possible by the contributions, direct or indirect, of every segment of the industry.

I wish to especially acknowledge the contributions of the late Cameron Andres and the late Ronald Smith for constructing the foundation of this text from which they have allowed me to build. My sincere gratitude to all the people at Pearson for their expertise and unwavering effort over the years in the publishing of Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction and a continuing thank you to the project management team and editors at Pearson, who kept the whole process running smoothly during the production of this edition.
