What Customers Say About Building Construction Illustrated:

The packaging, however, is a little too much. It's a little messy. Smooth transaction and great price. I am not really sure why a used book was shipped in a big box filled with bits and pieces of styro foams.
Great book. Lots of good building info and the images help you really visualise the building process.
Handy book to have if you get a building code book and need a bit more explanation. If you are a visual learner, definitely a must. I got this to help with some of the harder construction code requirements. 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.
I got 2nd edition. 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 thought the book was the 4th edition as the thumbnail( cover illustration). I was made me misunderstood. I am so disappoint for buy stuff online.
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.
