If you've never set foot on a building site but need to know what works and what doesn't, this book is for you! This primer on construction technology is aimed at people who have no background in construction or who have just joined the industry from college.
This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to every aspect of the technology of low-rise construction. It includes sub-structure (site work, setting out and foundations) and superstructure (flooring, roofs, finishes, fittings and fixtures).
The material here covers the first year course requirement of all courses on which construction technology is taughtβno matter what the ultimate qualification. It offers tried and tested solutions to a range of construction problems and is organised following the sequence of construction.
Construction Technology will show what has been done in the past, demonstrating good practiceβwhat works and what doesn'tβand common faults. There are summaries of the more important BSI documents and reference to the latest building regulations.
Lengthy explanations are avoided by relying heavily on hundreds of illustrations, pairing detail drawings with clear photographs to show real life construction situations.
