[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

An absolutely packed guide to all aspects of building construction including diagrams and sketches covering the early stages such as site identification, contracts and other paperwork through design and consultations to actual construction and decoration. Each section may not be completely detailed out but it gives you enough information to get going and direct you to what else you may need to know and/or do.
