5.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading, 17 April 2004
I have got a number of constuction books in my arsenal to help me through the construction of a house extension - this one is the one I turn to first. Covering all the stages of building in a very clear but suffciently detailed way, it has been enough to guide me through various stages of the build with no extra help. What you don't find in these pages you'll only get in the Building regs themselves (which I recommend you get!).

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're buying a house, buy this first, 7 April 2006
By Andy Dingley "andy_dingley" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you're buying a house, building one, or simply don't know your pargetting from your parapets, then this book is for you. It's thin enough that you can read it, yet the large format allows for several line drawings on every page. Reading this book taught me more than any other pile of textbooks about how houses were put together, how they fall apart and how to put them back again. It's a paragon of clear and legible writing and the scope covers all those types of building work that you're likely to encounter in UK domestic housing; from early-Victoriana to modern insulation systems. No longer need you be baffled by batts or fail to understand a U value. Highly recommended, and the best bargain anyone buying a house more than 10 years old could find.
