- Summary:
-
This is a step-by-step guide to house building and 32 additional pages are packed with valuable information, with extra 100 'show me how' drawings, over 660 in total. It is the easiest to comprehend building text in Australia. This book divides residential construction into four main types - brick veneer, timber or steel frame, cavity brick and concrete block. Each method is described in step-by-step detail, with illustrations. The focus is not simply on the general aspects of wall construction, but follows through with explanations and illustrations of the building process, from the bottom up. It covers concrete footings/slab floors, timber floors and sub floors, wall framing, roof construction, finishing and miscellaneous issues. The book relies heavily on cross-sectional drawings; in fact, every page has more than one. The text serves mainly to highlight particular details in the drawings.
