Building Construction: Principles, Materials, and Systems (What's New in Trades & Technology)

I read this book cover to cover 3 times and it helped me pass the ARE. I liked it so much that I gave my two copies to friends who are still taking the ARE and bought a hardcover copy for my personal library. The book is very thorough and explained many details of construction in ways that are easy to remember and understand. I've had my fair share of reference and exam prep books, but this one is by far the best and most comprehensive of them all. Highly recommend it to those who are taking the ARE!

Thankfully it really in a good condition and I'm happy with the service of delivery big thanks. The book is clean and well worth the price and quality it used but looks new and well maintained No damages and clean papers and clean image a and words. Thank you for the great services and trust declaration of the description of the product.

Arrive ontime and in good condition. I bought this book as a requirement for a college course at UAB. So far it seems to have a thorough understanding of the construction industry coupled with lots of practical information.

I didn’t realize that the book was going to be so worn given how much it cost.

Great book highly recommend if you are taking methods and materials construction class . Very informal book and highly detailed in specific materials that are used in construction

this is a very good text book for the curious architect the wants to go deeper in to the fundamentals. if i was teaching i would use this book even for studio.

I used the book for school

Great book and easy to find what you want with search bar.

I was looking for this book forever because of its newer edition and finally ordered it for a great price and it was the last one. But the delivery damaged the package and sent it back to the seller without even delivering it to me. Very disappointing.

It is a good book - if you want to learn about construction. I - DID NOT LIKE - the reading so much - because some of the comprehension is difficult to understand - and you need to read it twice - before you understand the content (specially when they explain - formulas)
