With a straightforward A-Z organization, and more photos, drawings, and diagrams than any other illustrated dictionary, this dictionary will be a mainstay on the shelves of anyone involved in the building industry.

The wide range of topics makes it the only single volume reference to cover all aspects of design, construction, and related business terminology.

A sampling of the categories includes:

 • Project management
 • Construction process and management
 • Design-Build
 • Eco-design and green building
 • Marketing and presentation

No other illustrated construction dictionary covers design, the coordination between the entire design and project delivery process, and the business aspects of the building industry.

In addition, it includes more photos, detailed drawings, and diagrams than any other book on the shelf.

Product Benefits:

Offers a dictionary with over 5,000 simple definitions of design, contracting, project management, construction, renovation, eco-design, and adaptive use terms.

Entries are carefully cross-referenced, written to be accessible to nonprofessionals, and range in length from 4 to 75 words.

In construction and architecture, a picture is worth a thousand words; hence more than 1,500 unusually high-quality black-and-white photographs, cropped working drawings, plan, maps, and construction schedules accompany entries where appropriate.

This is an excellent ready-reference book for first-time home buyers.
