The new edition features the following updates: extensive revisions to information on the Building Regulations; expanded discussions of timber frame construction and prefabrication; updates to text and illustrations reflecting the latest teaching approaches. Students learning the fundamentals of building and construction on undergraduate and other NQF level 5-6 courses will find this the ideal introduction to the subject.
