Publisher's Synopsis
Residential construction accounts for more than half of all of the building construction dollars spent annually in the United States. Architects and construction professionals must have a basic understanding of the material and structural systems appropriate to this type of construction as well as a working knowledge of codes and management procedures. Building on Edward Allen′s best–selling Fundamentals of Building Construction, this book provides the information they need, with an authoritative, in–depth look at the procedures and materials specific to home building.
