Title: Residential building design and construction
First published: 1998
Description: This comprehensive text fully explains today's homebuilding system in the United States from design through the construction phase. Unlike other texts, coverage goes beyond basic structural systems within a house and includes discussions of the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems as well.

The technical presentation of the material is enriched with enough detail to be suitable for academic use in residential construction, construction science, construction management, and building technology programs at universities and colleges while remaining clear enough to be a valuable resource for homebuilders and building code officials.

Building professionals, engineers, architects, and anyone who needs to interface with the residential building industry will find the inclusion of the latest CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code requirements to be an important reference tool.
Subjects: Dwellings, Design and construction, House construction
