McKay's Building Construction

Description

This is a new reprint of the combined three volumes that McKay published between 1938 and 1944. It primarily describes the craft of building as practised before the Second World War, prior to the introduction of modern materials and building techniques. McKay offers conservation practitioners an essential understanding of the traditional forms of construction, covering the use of masonry and brickwork, carpentry and joinery, slating, plumbing and drainage.
