The leading guide to professional home construction, updated and
expanded Fundamentals of Residential Construction is the definitive
guide to single family and multifamily home building that details
every step of the construction process. From siting and foundations
to finishing details, this book provides a complete walk-through of
professional home construction. Over 1,200 drawings and photographs
animate the textbook, while interactive supplementary online
resources help facilitate an understanding of the material. This
fourth edition accommodates the latest developments in materials
and methods, including new coverage of sustainable building and
energy efficiency, multifamily construction, prefabricated building
components, and CAD/BIM planning tools in residential construction.
Authoritative coverage of wood light-frame construction, building
systems, industrialized fabrication, insulating concrete forms,
light-gauge steel and masonry construction, multi-family buildings,
and more provides a solid foundation in residential construction
methods, tools, and processes. Building a home requires a deeply
integrated understanding of materials, structures, codes, and
management procedures. Because the process involves such a broad
array of considerations and challenges, construction professionals
must regularly draw on a clear body of knowledge to keep a project
running smoothly. This book helps you lay the groundwork of
expertise required to successfully complete a residential project.

systems Understand site preparation, foundations, and framing Delve
into the details of roofing, finishing, and energy efficiency
Understand heating/cooling, plumbing, and electrical options

Designing and constructing a home presents a unique project
dynamic; people's homes are their sanctuaries, where they make the
memories of a lifetime. They must be designed to be lived in, not
simply "used." Lifetime costs play a major role in decision-making,
materials must be carefully chosen and sourced, and spaces must be
structured to be efficient yet enjoyable. Fundamentals of
Residential Construction shows you how to bring it all together to
turn a project into a family's cherished home.
