Barrys Intro to Construction of Building

by Emmitt Emmitt

The five volume series, Barry's Construction of Buildings , has been established as a standard text on building technology for many years. However, a substantial update has long been required, and while doing this the opportunity has been taken to reduce five volumes to two in a more user-friendly format.

The introductory volume covers domestic construction and brings together material from volumes 1, 2 and part of 5. The extensive revision includes modern concepts on site assembly, environmental issues and safety, and features further reading.

This was my core textbook for the year one of my Surveying diploma. It was mostly useful and had good diagrams but was entirely too text heavy and I struggled to keep my focus on it. My textbooks this year are much better.
