Description
This new, easy to read textbook provides the fundamentals of building in the 21st century. Full of colour photographs, drawings and details, it has been prepared for students following BTEC/EdEXCEL units of the National Award, Certificate and Diploma in Construction. GCSE and Higher National students should also find it of practical use. The topics of Sustainable Development, Energy and Utilities are considered from a global viewpoint down to regional and local levels. Social and political aspects are considered against an environmental background. The innovative approach concentrates on the fundamentals providing reasons as to "why?", and practical solutions to the problems of measurement, design, and construction. Throughout the book, issues of health and safety have been integrated, emphasising the importance of the subject to everyone in the construction industry. The book opens with the topic of surveying, from the measurement of what exists such as land and buildings, to setting out for the builders, including worked examples of the maths and short work sheets. This is followed by an elemental approach to structures, including construction techniques and site issues.
