Riassunto

Designed in a structured, directed format to help develop understanding, rather than just providing a simple source of information, this widely-used textbook is intended specifically to support the study of domestic house construction at undergraduate degree and HNC/HND level. The text makes use of a variety of features to encourage students to engage with the text rather than just dip in and out of it. These include comparative tables which allow critical evaluation of different build details or design solutions, and a wealth of case studies. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect new technology and construction methods. Its student-friendly layout and features take readers through each step of the building process from planning to internal finishes.

This textbook is aimed at undergraduates and HNC/D students in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying. It is also ideal for associated Built Environment courses e.g. Land Management, Civil Engineering, where the basic technologies need to be understood.

Recensione:

"This text is perfect as an introduction to modern house construction. The structure is so easy to follow with topics clearly explained in an easy to understand style which includes clear visual images and annotated drawings. All this plus the extremely valuable web-site support material really makes this text a winner with students." - Ian Wardle, Senior Lecturer, University of Central Lancashire, UK
 
Praise for the previous edition: "The topics are logically organised and presented in a manner that is easy to follow, and just about every relevant subject, from planning to completion, is included...It would be a useful addition to the library of anyone involved in house construction and would be relevant on a wide range of courses, from basic technician level to architectural degrees." - Matthew Harrington, Times Higher Education
