Graphic Guide to Frame Construction: Fourth Edition, Revised and Updated (For Pros by Pros)

I have been planning on buying a cheap piece of land here in Indiana to build a large cabin style bunkhouse to go camping and host events (cookouts, shooting, archery, etc.) , This book covers a lot of the standard build styles and code/regulations stuff that a guy might look over.

Love the simple instruction and illustrations. Everything you need to build a solid project.

Not a "how to" book but more of a technical manual for all things framing construction. I'll use it for projects to finish out our "barn".

Gives you all the details on how to build a house and etc…

I haven’t read the book completely but the parts I have read have provided me the required knowledge to understand every house framing part, materials needs and the purpose of them.

I bought this book because I am about to undertake a major renovation of a small house I have owned for some time. I wanted to be in a knowledgeable position to discuss the foundation and the framing of the home's additions when I begin working on the construction drawings with the architect. Also, I just find knowing this stuff to be interesting, since most people have very limited knowledge about how their homes are constructed.

Wish I had this guide 10 years ago, would have made drawing specific interlocking systems, so much easier.This book should be a must have for Draftsmen and Aspiring architects.

I've learned so much by consulting with this book. Very useful and easy to understand graphics and details for anyone involved in remodeling, designing and detailing engineering/architectural plans and projects.

As someone just getting into residential construction this book has great, no, AMAZING information. It’s easy to find information on the fly when I get stumped or trying to plan out a house. It covers everything in super simple diagrams and terms from the foundation all the way to the finished roof. It’s not a step by step guide but I find it extremely helpful (ie; with floor joist spans, beams, roofs, roof trusses, foundations).
