Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspections and Reports on Dwellings is a three-volume series that comprehensively explores the process of independent professional home assessment required for the purchase of residential property. This fully updated second edition of Inspecting retains a focus on the needs of the surveyor to recognise and interpret the significance of observations on site, whilst updating the market context within which surveyors and valuers are operating. Inspecting includes a consideration of the important benchmarking by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of three distinct survey service levels for independent surveyors and a review of the wider choice of survey options professional surveyors can now offer to potential clients in addition to the RICS Home Survey range. There is additional content on preparing for the inspection and on reporting, and there are expanded or completely new sections on a variety of subjects such as conservatories, renewable energy technologies, and innovative techniques and forms of construction. With over 500 colour illustrations and an enhanced structure, the new edition reflects the very latest approach to inspecting and reporting on services, risk and legal matters. This book is essential reading for all those engaged in inspecting dwellings, whether experienced, newly qualified or studying for appropriate qualifications to become members of professional institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Robin Barry's Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 as a 5-volume set, and rapidly became a standard work on the subject. Following Barry's death in 2002 a two volume format was adopted with new authors. Barry's Introduction to Construction of Buildings provides the basic material an undergraduate student will need to understand how the majority of low rise buildings have been constructed traditionally, and how that is changing as buildings that are more efficient, resilient and have lower embodied carbon are constructed. It explains construction technology through key functional/ performance requirements for the main elements common to all buildings. The material has been updated to ensure it covers the latest building regulations and current construction technology"--
