WINNING!

In construction, success is never accidental and failure rarely comes without warning. The difference is found in the decisions made long before the first shovel hits the ground. Drawing on more than 60 years in the construction industry, Richard A. Reese shares practical, experience-driven insights into what truly drives project success. From architects and engineers to contractors, developers, suppliers, and public-sector leaders, every project depends on strong coordination, clear communication, and disciplined execution.

He examines the leadership, collaboration, and decision-making required to navigate complex projects and avoid costly breakdowns. With a foreword by former Mayor Robert Jackson, this book highlights the critical partnership between public and private stakeholders and the role it plays in bringing projects to completion.
