5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Construction reference book, 21 Jan 2009

By	Ian Mawdsley (Northants UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the definitive reference source for anyone working within the construction industry. Beautifully written and illustrated, its extensive use of diagrams and illustrations really help the reader to understand a broad range of construction practices and techniques. This book will appeal to construction professionals and site craftsmen alike, covering an extensive range of techniques and technologies, both traditional and modern.
This is also an excellent reference and information resource for all students who want to work within the construction industry, as relevant to vocational apprentices undertaking NVQ's to technicians studying BTEC Higher Nationals.
It covers everything from planning applications and building regulations to foundations, ground water control, brickwork, glazing and roofing, in fact every facet of construction you could think of. A first class buy.
