What to read after Introduction to Building?

Introduction to Building, is essential reading for all students of construction and building related disciplines. It is a preliminary and complementary reader for the other books in the Mitchell's Building Series and is a standard reference for all those concerned with contemporary construction processes and procedures. This third edition has been revised, updated and extended to retain its authoritative overview of the many and varied aspects of creating buildings. The new edition provides a wider perspective of construction, incorporating detailed interpretation of standard practice to current legislative measures. It analyses a building in terms of what is expected of it, the practical processes and typical methods used in its construction, the building team which implements the processes and the methods used for communicating information. Each section is written to stimulate interest in and to encourage further reading from the more advanced volumes in the Mitchell's Building Series and associated research papers.
