Chudley and Greeno's Building Construction Handbook

About this book

The 13th edition of Chudley and Greeno's Building Construction Handbook remains THE authoritative reference for all construction students and professionals. The principles and processes of construction are explained with the concepts of design included where appropriate. Extensive coverage of building construction practice, techniques and regulations representing both traditional procedures and modern developments are included to provide the most comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide to building construction.

This new edition has been updated to reflect recent changes to the Building Regulations, as well as including new material on modern methods of construction, greater emphasis on sustainability, health and safety, and coverage of heat pumps, photovoltaics, underfloor heating and rainwater harvesting.

Chudley and Greeno's Building Construction Handbook is the essential, easy-to-use resource for undergraduate and vocational students on a wide range of courses including NVQ and BTEC National, through to Higher National Certificate and Diploma, to Foundation and three-year degree level. It is also a useful practical reference for building designers, contractors and others engaged in the construction industry.
