BARRY'S INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS + ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS SET

Building on the success of previous revisions, these new, revised editions of Barry's classic texts retain the original concept of explaining construction technology through key functional/performance requirements. They have been fully updated to include extensive revisions to information on the Building Regulations; expanded discussions of timber frame construction and prefabrication; fully integrated coverage of building and construction sustainability; a more thorough treatment of demolition, and general updates to the text and illustrations reflecting the latest teaching approaches.

This special bundle includes both the Introduction and Advanced volumes.
