The Gypsum Construction Handbook 7th Edition

I work for a drywall subcontractor as an estimator for Multifamily Projects. I've worked in construction for about 7 years and in that short amount of time I've seen countless changes. Whether it be products, project design, or software, technology and the introduction of a new generation of workers is pushing the industry forward at a breakneck pace. Codes and "best practices" are always evolving and handbooks like this are a great reference tool. Unfortunately, the architects responsible for designing the project, in my opinion, are overwhelmed by the advances and do not always spec/detail their projects with the correct materials or assemblies. So having a guide like this handbook gives me the documentation to explain why a certain condition is not ideal or just not appropriate.

Pretty much an industry bible, great for research. It is also available online, or at least it was at one point. I like the physical copy myself.

If you are involved in construction at any level and utilize gypsum materials, then you absolutely need to have/use this book. Excellent reference source!!!

Great book for anyone who worked on a crew for a while in this field. Id recommend working as a helper first before buying this book or it maybe too much to understand.

This is a book published by a drywall manufacturer. It should be free and probably is if you get it through a distributor. It is not an unbiased review of gyp board technique but it does have a lot of information.

Surprising used this one for a handful of questions on the NASCLA exam. It was definately a good buy.

Very well and detailed information, for designing and construction of gypsumboards in all aspects and uses. Good to own such book.
