What Customers Say About Building Construction Illustrated:

I got this to help with some of the harder construction code requirements. Handy book to have if you get a building code book and need a bit more explanation. For instance, I was looking at foundations - it illustrated different types of foundation systems, support systems, footings, walls, foundations on different kinds of grades, etc. If you are a visual learner, definitely a must.
I got 2nd edition. I thought the book was the 4th edition as the thumbnail( cover illustration). I am so disappoint for buy stuff online. I was made me misunderstood. When i got a book I was so upset because it turned out different edition. If you are not sure about the cover book's illustration, please write which edition is it.
I bought this as required text book for my Architectural Course at College, it has been very useful converting my UK Construction industry terminology into USA terminology, easily understood and so many illustrations, recommended.
Well written and well illustrated. This book will give ANYONE a great overview of every facet of how buildings are constructed. Just skimming through the illustrations is a learning experience.
This book is quite complete and very helpful in addressing all the problems of building from the ground up. The diagrams are particularly helpful since the conventional "plan and elevation" drawings many times do not convey the total intent quickly and accurately. This book achieves that perfectly. A section on swimming pools, spas and decks would be a welcome addition.
