The sections at the front of the book (Functional Requirements) is particularly useful, and has joined the small collection of architectural and construction guides/handbooks that I refer to when I need my memory jogged or details/specifications clarified.</p><p>All of the drawings and details are well put together, clear and concise. Again a great reference." - Matt, Architect</p><p><br></p><p>"I have found the residential book extremely useful, I was recommended it by a tutor for a module I was doing and this was just before I started work in practice so it gave me a head start for my new job getting to see all similar details from your book in real life situations. Thank you!" - George, Architecture Student</p><p><br></p><p></p><br>
