Review :
"The textbook has a long history of being used as an instructional tool to teach construction methods and materials. The text has just been revised to include new materials to aid the educator in preparing students for a vast array of construction related professions." "This book works well as introductory book for trade or college students and equally good resource for working professionals and researchers."
