About the Book

This is a practical, illustrated handbook on the construction of small buildings using local materials, suitable for a great variety of ground and climatic conditions. Devised originally for amateur builders, it is based on the author's direct experience, working in the tropics, and is a practical and detailed guide for anyone who, for whatever reason, is unable to work in conventional circumstances.
