Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings has long been a standard text for construction and building students. Now you can own the updated 4^th edition! 

What does this book cover?

The updated and heavily revised 4^th edition of Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings is a roadmap for the construction of large scale industrial, commercial and residential buildings of all kinds. It outlines all kinds of load bearing frames – steel, concrete and timber, and follows the entire life of a project from planning to demolition. It is designed to follow the equally revered Barry’s Introduction to Construction of Buildings, also in its 4^th edition.

As you read, you’ll benefit from:

• Chapter beginning summaries to aid in retention
• Tips to building efficiency integrated through the entire text
• Detailed guides to the environmental, site assembly, offsite construction, design and technology issues you’re likely to face in practice
