Building Construction Handbook [Chudley, Roy, Greeno, Roger] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Building Construction Handbook Review: Many years ago I had the three-volume set of Mitchell's , but I gave them to a young student . Whilst browsing a while ago , I came across this book on desertcart's site . It appeared to have very good reviews , so I thought I would buy it and see if it lived-up to the reviews . Well , I was not disappointed . It is a very comprehensive compilation of all aspects of construction from setting-out and leveling to tiling on the roof , including information on the necessary services . There is a mass of information on structural design and construction . It is very well illustrated and with much detailing . It is a large book with over 1000 pages . This book should be one of the first to be purchased by students of architecture , building surveying and engineering . However , old "soldiers" like me will find it very useful . Excellent book .

Bought this book to assist me with my University degree and also for my future professional development. The book is huge and with over 1000 pages, it really covers so many bases. From planning permission, to steelworks and tiling, it gives great explanations using a variety of drawings and diagrams with text. For someone starting out or wanting to improve their knowledge within the construction industry, this book really is a great start. The index and contents pages really are very useful, the index is especially in-depth making it so much easier to find the exact page you are looking for.

I used to work as a laborer >10 years ago so had an idea about building concepts but not the details. This book is enabling me to create detailed plans and building regulations specifications for my home extension. I plan to install the foundations myself and this book gives all the information and a huge number of diagrams and examples which help me to understand this. It was recommended to me by a Chartered Surveyor as "the bible" of house-building, and I agree!
