This classic book provides an overview of the methods, equipment, and materials used in the construction of large commercial buildings. It makes an excellent source of general information--complete with diagrams, details, photographs, and worked examples of typical construction calculations such as earth moving calculation, formwork calculations, concrete pressures, and insulation values for building components. Revised content in this new 8th edition includes additional examples and homework problems for a complete review, superior illustrations, added video clips to the ancillary materials, and much, much more!
Excellent Reference Book
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book for the General Contractor exam. It is also an excellent reference book for people working in the construction business. |
A general description of building system components, but not a managerial guide
| Customer Rating:  | The book gives narrative descriptions of the different possiblities for building componets used in commercial construction. It basically says " here are the choices." But, it does not provide the constructability, cost, and site management information necessary to evaluate which of these choices would be best for a particular project. Nor does it provide the information to best approach the execution of the project once a collection of project components is selected.
Although this is intended primarily as a technical book, a little managerial information would have been helpful to evaluate these techical components.
