An Illustrated Dictionary of Building is ideal for practitioners
and students on GNVQ, NVQ Construction and The Built Environment
and Building Craft Operative courses. The guide is also useful
reference for those in Higher Education on Professional,
Architectural and other associated courses with a building element.
First published in 1989 as Building Terminology, this second
edition has been expanded and updated to cover an even wider range
of terms, concepts and new practices. Including slang and regional
variations, these are clearly defined and cross-referenced, many
with the aid of illustrations, to provide an insight into the
building industry as a whole.
The logical A-Z arrangement in each section makes this an ideal
reference source. The book is also highly illustrated with over 350
diagrams and photographs. The subjects covered include:
architectural style; building construction; documentation,
administration and control; materials and scientific principles and
services and finishes.
