 This book is terrible! October 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book does not match with the drawings that are included. It has a lot of type-Os. It's very difficult to understand.
 Good delivery July 14, 2007
The book came on time however there was a page of the plans missing. Other than that everything was good.
Understanding construction drawings March 5, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is very informative how ever i feel some of the questions could have been a little more precise in what they were asking. I needed the book for my construction management class when i was taking another class on materials and methods for construction so a lot of information overlapped which helped concrete it in.
Beware USED books - Drawings are NOT included! January 12, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The book itself is generally good quality and well-written. I'm learning about construction & drawings for the very first time, so some info was hard for me to really understand - not enough explanation and, oh yeah - the DRAWINGS that are referred to throughout the ENTIRE book - uh... are NOT included! I HOPE someone sees this comment so that perhaps an addendum to the book's description could really warn buyers what they're in for by trying to save money on the used book. Honestly, you really lose at least half the value by not being able to refer to the plans...so: BUYER BEWARE!
Text book study October 16, 2005
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book is laid out like a text book course of study, which I like, however one important thing to note is that there is no answer key for the tests. The answer key is a seperate book and I have been unable to locate it. Fortunately I work for a General Contractor and have been able to have my co-workers check my answers for accuracy. But as far as being a good source for systematic learning, this book definitely is.
