Of man's ambition, this document serves ample testimony
To the above reviewer who claims this tome contains no more than a checklist and was not useful to him, my response can only be that even Hamlet, tossed into the ape's den, will eventually become so much banana toppings.
Fundamentally, a Check List
This book is a big check-list.Do not buy it if you are actually looking for building code information.However, it would probably be useful to contractors who want to be sure they have covered all bases.(I gave it two stars because it was not useful for me.)

A Must Companion for the UBC Code
This book makes an excellent Companion for the 1997 UBC Code.It is broken into section like the UBC code, each section has check list that can be used to insure compliance with the code.Read more

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
SEE THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL THIRD EDITION OF THIS BOOK.

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
THE ONLY NEGATIVE REVIEW WAS FROM AN ARCHITECT WHO COMPLAINED THAT THE BOOK HARDLY MENTIONED "THE ARCHITECT." INSTEAD IT REFERS MOSTLY TO "THE DESIGNER," MEANING THE "DESIGN TEAM" WHICH AN ARCHITECT MAY LEAD. CONSTRUCTION, HOWEVER, IS MORE THAN ARCHITECTURE, AND THE BOOK'S CONTENT EXPLAINS THAT, ESPECIALLY IN THE PART ON "DESIGN-BUILD" CONTRACTS, A METHOD OF OPERATION THAT UTILISES A BUILDING CONTRACTOR'S EXPERIENCE FROM THE OUTSET.

Construction contracts are Fundamental to Design& Building
Try reading a standard form of construction contract. Dull! Yet it shapes relations among owners, designers, and builders. See how often a standard form is abused, by a lack or an abundance of changes that cannot be directly related by a reader. Even more than specifications, often the contract documents remain unread. "It's standard!" is a frequent comment: often, not so. Few lawyers will write about them, so who should? Someone who has written and worked with many contracts. ... Read more
