Description

The latest edition of the Housebuilder's Bible is unique - the first book in its field to mix information and advice with detailed yardstick costings for residential building projects.  The author is an experienced housebuilder and renovator and much of the detail in the book is drawn from trade experience.  It's very much an insider's guide and experienced construction professionals have expressed amazement at the amount of detailed information in the book.  Yet it's accessible - many readers who have never been involved with building before have used this book to successfully build their own homes.  The eighth edition has been fully updated to reflect recent changes in prices, building regulations and other legislation and has a slicker, easier to navigate feel.  It also includes a green building section, information on extensions and a snagging list.  It's an ideal companion for anybody, self builder or professional, who wants to know more about building well on a budget.
