The sixth edition of The Construction of Houses builds on the
success of the previous five editions. The book provides a
comprehensive introduction to the principles and processes of the
construction of houses and their services. As such it is aimed at
providing a broad understanding of domestic building construction
for students as part of their academic studies and as a useful
information source for practitioners. The existing chapters have
all been updated and most of them expanded to take account of
changes to dwelling house construction since the last edition and
there are new chapters on 'Modern Methods of Construction' and
'Regulatory controls and building standards'. Additionally, many
new and/or updated photographs and diagrams have been added. As
with the previous editions, the authors have concentrated on
presenting current mainstream approaches to the construction of
houses. The detailed, yet accessible, text that is supported by
hundreds of coloured photographs and diagrams provides clear
explanations of the many complex processes that go into the
building of a house. A deeper insight into modern construction is
also given by the book's consideration of historical building
techniques from the 18th century onwards in order to illustrate how
and why we build houses in the way we do now.
