OUTDATED CSI FORMAT-EVERYTHING BEFORE 2004 IS OBSOLETE
| Customer Rating: | | THIS BOOK IS GREAT EVEN FANTASTIC IT VERY THOUROGH AND A MUST- EXCEPT THEY CHANGED THE CSI MASTER FORMAT CODE IN 2004 SO ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS I GOT THIS BOOK IS OUTDATED AND NO GOOD, I HAVE TO USE THIS BOOK IN TANDEM WITH THE 2004 MASTERFORMAT TO AVOID ERRORS. AND THE TRUTH IS I CANT FIND ANYBOOKS LIKE THIS THAT USE THE 2004 CODES- SO OVERALL ITS A GOOD BOOK |
A no-nonsense, how-to guide
| Customer Rating: | Fred Stitt's systems approach to working drawings was, and remains, a revelation, if not a revolution. You get your money's worth just from utilizing the modular layout and detail numbering systems alone.
Stitt thinks ahead and realizes that standardization and reusability are important to the architect who is trying to run a profitable and productive practice. So the ability to come up with, say, a standard foundation-to-wall detail, and be able to easily incorporate such standards into a drawing set, is a key aspect of productive profitability. And by adopting a modular sheet layout system, it becomes much easier to fit the sheet together, and avoid cramming details into wierd margins (which still, to this day, happens all too often).
Just so you know where I'm coming from, I was a practicing architect for twelve years, and I used Stitt's working drawing system throughout my career. In fact, I brought that system into several bay area firms, where it is used to this day. Now, I practice law, and I see from the other end how valuable a clear, concise set of working drawings is to controlling the building process and minimizing exposure.
As with many of Stitt's books, this one is a real help. |
