4.0 out of 5 stars Home extension due, 5 April 2003

By	"scots_man" - See all my reviews

I bought this because I am about to embark on a large extension & want to remind myself of building terminology & practices. It was also to give my wife an insight into building terms.

Yes the book is useful but as I was in the building trade a few years ago (15) I do remember a lot of this. This book would be useful to someone with little or no knowledge of building. But it does not tell you everything you will need to know.

I found it did not go into enough detail in some areas like plumbing, heating controls etc. House design is changing & home automation is becomming more common as is underfloor heating.

It is very hard nowadays to get a book that covers all aspects. This book was helpful to myself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, 27 Jun 2007

By	A. Mc (Scotland) - See all my reviews

I can't believe that the previous reviewers were reading the same book as I was.
This book is badly put together random paragraphs and looks rediculously outdated. It is littered with 'humorous' cartoons that I found stupid and patronising. It is laid out in magazine style but with less style and content.
Under the section for 'Installing a septic tank' for example, it tells you what one is, in about 3 sentences, no more information can be seen on septic tanks.

If you must by a book on building, you can spend your �12 in a much better way (I recommend The Housebuilders Bible)

The only thing that I can see anyone finding that this is a good book is if they have no previous building or DIY experience what so ever.

If you are interested in extending your home, this is the book for you. Excellent advice and guides explaining step by step what is involved/required to extend your house. I have found this invaluable in building my own extension.
