SUMMARY
To emphasize again, all the systems and techniques described in previous chapters hold true
not only for commercial construction but also for residential and low-rise multifamily con-
struction as well. While the principles of this book are rarely used in residential or multi-
family construction, the 90%/1% and 99% principles are sound for all types of construction.
It is just a matter of finding a contractor who is prepared to fully incorporate these proce-
dures during construction to prevent what residential codes and code enforcements do not.
