| Review: | This book summarises concisely, in diagrams and in brief explanations, all elements of the building process. Practice, techniques and procedures are clearly defined with supplementary references to regulations and relevant standards. This illustrative approach to construction provides a comprehensive analysis through explicit drawings and text to benefit all members of the construction industry. It is an essential resource for the professional library and the resource office. Students of construction management, architecture, surveying, the built environment and other related subjects will value it as a course reader, not least for its detailed and extensive coverage of all important aspects of construction technology. Contents: Preface, General; Site works; Builders plant; Substructure; Superstructure; Internal construction and finishes; Domestic services; Index. |
