his advanced textbook on construction assumes an understanding of the theoretic basis of the technology and widens the student's awareness to alternatives, without swamping them by new ideas.t will still cover low rise domestic construction but will address:a range of alternative techniques and materials old and new- particularly eco-friendly onesthe most recent editions of the Building Regulations across England& Wales and Scotland with the more important differences highlighted and how they are to be metprécis a selection of the major British and European Standards which are referred to in the current Regulationssustainability (including recycling and reclaiming) will be discussed in an Appendix but highlighted as techniques and materials are discussed in the body of the text.hat will remain the same:general format/layout and writing styleuse of photographs to support the detail drawings will remain and will be expanded.appendices will be used extensively so that issues and techniques can be described briefly and precisely without intrusion upon the main text.the general chapter headings and order so that a correlation exists between the two volumes.
