Residential Construction Details: A Visual Guide to Construction Detailing

There are so many typos in this book, some so pervasive that it hinders comprehension. The cost of the book is high, probably in part due to so many full color printed pages. Could these have been reduced? Absolutely. There are 24 iterations of a tiny corner of a basement detailed, occupying two pages each. The differences between them are sometimes miniscule: a single insulation layer moved from this side to that.Still, it's a useful primer if you're going to jump into creating these details for yourself.

I have not purchased the actual book, but have coordinated and utilized the details that are included in this book from prior purchase from the author. Excellent, resourceful material to add to anybody's library and/or process.

I've enjoyed adding this book to my resources library. Emma does a great job visualizing and explaining typical construction details. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a simpler, yet better representation of areas commonly found in residential construction
