Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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 taughtβ€”no 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 practiceβ€”what works and what doesn'tβ€”and 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.
