NKBA Kitchen and Bathroom Planning Guidelines with Access Standards

Helpful. Practical. Informative Using this book for my Kitchen Design and Build class. It is easy to read, follow, and it explains things well. It is helpful for understanding the foundations and creating sustainable design and building plans.

Needed this for school. Gives you measurements,clearances for washrooms when designing. Book is compact.

I am in the process to build a new home, this guide has been very important in order to understand the Architects' decisions, speak their language and, of course, made my point when I see something I do not like, even at the construction site.

a good essential guide for anyone working in kitchen and bath! helped greatly in classes and in real life projects

Took care of my handicapped father (as promised) after becoming handicapped from a stroke. Caring for him in a "traditionally" build house was not easy, actually it was a nightmare. One doesn't think of these things when they are young and healthy, but wait until life slap you with health problems, then dealing with it's short comings become a daily battle. Now intend to move and build my "last" aging friendly home (society has changed, caring for aging family is too much work). Will use the info in this book to help keep from making mistakes that that might not be easily overcome. It is a "small" book, but the info is essential for planning purposes. Additional observation: The handicapped showers as configured in this book are too small considering when one may need help while showering. Having a handicapped shower that will accommodate 2 people, one seated and the other standing (CNA) makes the task easier. Even after having some surgeries and you want to recuperate at home with home care (i.e., not a permanent disability) having a real water bath vrs. a "bed bath" (YUCK) is a luxury.
