Product Description

Product Description

The five volume series, Barry′s Construction of Buildings, has been established as a standard text on building technology for many years. However, a substantial update has long been required, and while doing this the opportunity has been taken to reduce five volumes to two in a more user–friendly format.


The introductory volume covers domestic construction and brings together material from volumes 1, 2 and part of 5. The extensive revision includes modern concepts on site assembly, environmental issues and safety, and features further reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, 4 Jul 2007
By Buildergal (Cheshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I bought this and several other tech books for my degree and this was by far the best...very comprehensive and in depth coverage, far more information than Chudley- highly recommended, especially for those who have to produce detailed drawings to regs as part of their course.
