Combining an illustrated handbook of construction and the bestselling guide to the Building Regs, this essential bundle provides complete coverage for the builder at a great price! The 2 books together tell you what needs to be done by law and show you step-by-step how to do it.
Building Construction Handbook (ISBN: 9780750686228) is full of detailed drawings that clearly illustrate the construction of building elements. It contains the latest guidance on energy conservation, sustainable construction, environmental and green building issues.
