Construction bible...

This book is one of three that should be in any student engineers library. For any one who is fresh to the industry or needs a reminder, this book offers all the facts and knowledge that you would need, and handyly refers to the building regulations where necessary. The pictures are superb for what they try to convey, and it doesnt contain any useless information that is likely to confuse you with. A superb buy... And the other two books.... Building Regualtions in Brief, and the Metric Handbook are must haves for design of anything...

Fantastic

Used this for nearlly every assignment in college and Uni. A must have for any student or young construction engineer. Still refer to it every now and then.

If you are a first year student!

This book is really good for explaining the basics, and if you are a first year student of surveying, architecture or even quantity surveying, then its the perfect book. The illustrations are good (not always to scale!) and its a really simple read and will explain anything you will cover the first year. You will most likely refer to it in other years of study, so its worth every penny. At my uni, we referred to it in the first year as "the bible"!
