Practical books for developing field leaders and homeowners who want to prepare well, ask better questions, and make sound decisions before the work pays the price.
01 / Field Leadership and Career Development
NEW RELEASE
The FieldWise Collection
A construction schedule is supposed to show the future. Too often, it only reports the past.
Clyde Pershall takes readers from a blank screen and a stack of drawings through the real work of building an honest, usable construction schedule. This is field thinking for superintendents, project managers, schedulers, and trade partners—not a software manual.

FIELD LEADERSHIP
Nearly Fifty Years of Hard Decisions and Field-Wise Thinking in Construction
Construction can teach a person a great deal, but it does not slow down to explain the lesson.
Clyde Pershall shares the hard decisions, mistakes, mentors, friendships, and turning points that shaped the way he leads people today. Each story translates lived experience into practical judgment about leadership, planning, scheduling, constraints, meetings, quality, logistics, safety, and building a career that lasts.
