Building Surveys

Butterworth-Heinemann, Great Britain, 2001. Fourth Edition. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. Since 1983 'Building Surveys' has been a favourite source of reference for architecture, building and surveying. The book's emphasis on the practical knowledge, techniques and equipment required to inspect and report accurately make it invaluable for both professionals and students. Peter Glover has fully updated his book and added extra material for this 4th Edition including a new chapter on the increasingly important role of the surveyor as expert witness. The Government proposals for compulsory 'Sellers Packs', including a Home Condition Report as part of the house selling process in England and Wales, are also covered. Starting with an introduction to the role of surveyor, the book covers the main structural elements, finishes and surfaces before dealing with the various types of reports and buildings that surveyors may encounter, including historic buildings and the surveyor's role in conservation. Students will find it a comprehensive introduction to this important subject. 276 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.
