Résumé

Robin Barry's The Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 and quickly became an established source of information for students of building design and construction. Since then there have been extensive changes in technologies, and in building regulations, standards and codes, as well as a growing concern for the environmental impact of construction.

This major revision marks a new stage in the series, with the five volume set being published in two volumes, with substantial changes to text and illustrations:

Barry's Introduction to Construction of Buildings (previously volumes 1, 2 and part of 5) addresses primarily first year (level 1) students
Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings (previously volumes 3, 4 and part of 5) will be aimed at second year (level 2) students

Along with this major revision, typical details have been provided and alternative construction approaches have been added to cover work for both new and existing buildings. Photographs from construction sites have been added to aid understanding of the technologies described.

This latest edition continues to be based on Barry's original concept of explaining construction technology through key functional/performance requirements for the main elements common to all buildings.
