This book shows you how to get those connections right the first time.Fundamentals of Residential Construction and Home Building walks you through a house in the order it is actually built. It starts with the site and the codes, then moves through foundations, floors, walls, roofs, the weatherproof envelope, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, finishes, and project closeout. Every chapter explains why the work is done a certain way, so you can make sound decisions on the job and not only follow steps.Inside, you will learn how to: - Read a site and plan drainage, grading, and layout- Trace loads from the roof to the soil and size footings, joists, headers, and rafters- Frame floors, walls, and roofs that resist wind, uplift, and settlement- Keep water out with correct flashing, underlayment, and drainage planes- Control heat, air, and moisture so a house stays dry and efficient- Coordinate plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work without weakening the frame- Estimate, schedule, and close out a project with confidenceBuilt for the way you work: - Fully solved worked examples with units carried through every step- Practice problems with answers in every chapter- 30 original illustrations that make each concept clear- Key equations, reference tables, unit conversions, a glossary, and a detailed index for fast lookup on the jobWritten for contractors, carpenters, estimators, site supervisors, and trade students, the book assumes only basic arithmetic and no prior experience. You will finish with the judgment that separates a good builder from a great one.Stop guessing and start building with confidence. Buy now and start reading today.…
