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.

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.

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).
