Product Description

Product Description
Construction Technology provides a comprehensive introduction to every aspect of the technology of domestic low-rise construction, including elements of commercial construction, and the principal associated legislation.

Based on Construction Technology Volumes 1 and 2, this combined new edition has been updated in line with contemporary legislation and practice. In addition a substantial amount of new material has also been included in order to cover recent developments in technology affecting the construction industry. The style of the original books by Roy Chudley has been retained, avoiding lengthy descriptive passages and leaving the original diagrams to illustrate best practice and techniques.

This book covers the basic elements of substructure (site works, setting out and foundations) and superstructure (flooring and roofs, simple finishes, fittings and fixtures) as well as basic services such as water, gas electricity and drainage. It also considers low-rise framed industrial and commercial buildings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another 'must have', 6 Mar 1999
By A Customer
One step further than Chudley's 'Building Construction Handbook'. This book provides a more in depth, yet still clear and concise guide to all basic elements of building. Again another 'must have' for student and site management alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all first year school of the built environment students, 21 April 2006
By Mr. Eric L. Dyche (derby United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a mature student studying in my second year of a building surveying degree with twenty years experience in the construction industry, I can tell you that the best book for any student studying in higher education in building or construction at either college of higher/further education/technical college, HND or degree level is 'Construction Technology' by Roy Chudley, fourth edition (ISBN number 0131286420).
