Excellent service. Received package before estimated time of delivery. Books made it in time for my exams that needed to be written the second week of my purchase

I've owned it for six years, and it is still one of my go-to reference guides whenever I have doubts regarding certain materials & methods. The authors not only explain the construction process and materials involved, but also provide the (building) scientific context for many of the typically encountered assemblies in today's construction industry. If you're a student, please don't be intimidated by the sheer mass of this book. You'll be thankful for the solid foundation this book provides when you transition from academia to practice.

With that said, this book will not provide exhaustive detail on any particular type of construction (such a book will most likely not fit on any one bookshelf or hard drive), but it will certainly point you in the right direction whether you are searching for pre-determined solutions or are developing your own details.

A really great book to develop an understanding of modern construction technology and practice. A must for any one interested in green buildings.

Book arrived in Ontario, Canada in perfect shape and on time as well. Good experience with this seller.
