In print since 1948, Dwelling House Construction is a
homebuilding classic that covers site inspection, foundations,
framing, windows, roofing and flashing, coatings, fireplaces and
chimneys, insulation, hardware, plastics, mobile homes, and
manufactured housing.This new edition has been substantially
revised to take into account the many changes in materials and
building technologies that have occurred over the past decade. The
chapter on roofing has been completely revised. The chapters on
coatings and plastics have been combined, as have those on
manufactured and mobile housing. Sections on masonry, wood, steel,
steel framing, and concrete have been added; the sections on septic
tanks, balloon framing, braced framing, plaster, and standard
requirements have been shortened, and specification clauses have
been eliminated.Albert G. H. Dietz is Professor Emeritus of
Building Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
