Product Description

Review
"An invaluable reference for experienced designers and builders; an essential aid for beginners." Richard Meyer, National Association of Home Builders"

Product Description
The first edition of this book was the first complete visual handbook designed for architects, builders, students and homeowners interested in woodframe house construction. This new edition contains hundreds of meticulous drawings illustrating every detail readers would ever want to know about building with wood. Well organised and clearly written, the illustrations are sharp, well annotated and drawn at precise scale so they can be easily transferred to working drawings. The complete visual handbook for woodframe construction: updated to reflect new materials, new methods and new building regulations. This book is a classic and updating it only serves to strengthen and renew it. Top author: architect and University of Oregon architecture professor Rob Thallon has been designing and building wood-frame buildings for 20 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent detailed building reference, 22 Feb 1999
By A Customer
As a former building contractor, I can say that this book offers builders of all levels drawing views that blueprints sometimes do not even afford. There are detailed views of alternative approaches for same-type applications that cover most problems encountered during a building or remodeling project. I initially bought this book as a refresher in anticipation of a planned project on my own home, but it has turned out to be one of the best reference books in my library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and informative, 29 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This book will become a staple in your library. It will help work through just about any detail. Don't waste your money on Kaffee Kang's version of this book unless your are a complete novice in the field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the UK , 16 Mar 2008
By Jp Smith (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good book but written by an american for the U.S. market. Interesting but lots of things not relevant or just plain different from the U.K. building regs guidelines.
