Unbeknownst to him, he had entered the world of high-end custom building. Within four years, he was supervising the construction of a 29,000 square-foot mansion on a 180-acre estate in Fairfield County Connecticut. This is a book about his personal and professional growth along that journey, from apprentice to builder through the tutelage of a seasoned and hard-nosed builder. It describes how uniquely high-end homes are built for select clients, a glimpse into the lives of the blue-collar workers, architects, engineers and clients that come together to make these projects a reality. At its core, this is a coming-of-age story, a celebration of the pursuit of creative impulses and a story about defying the \"rules\" and finding a personal calling in life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Huron River Pr","offers":[{"title":"Builder's Apprentice | Andrew J Hoffman | Hardcover | 9781932399240 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1710765","offer_id":50834979160322,"sku":"1710765","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/7131urTNeHL.jpg?v=1792645889","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/builders-apprentice","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
