And do you understand the importance of keeping timber dry on site? Site check: the timber frame pocket guide is an essential resource for ensuring you are well-informed and for checking the quality of the work done on site under your watch. The best of the TRADA and the STA timber frame pocket guides is now combined into a single new book with new drawings throughout and updated sections, including additional information on party wall cavity insulation and on differential movement. Its available in a handy pocket-sized wiro bound format you can keep it with you at all times. Its an excellent accompaniment to TRADA's Timber frame construction manual
