The Housebuilder's Bible
Author:Mark Brinkley;
The Housebuilder's Bible is the first and only guidebook to mix yardstick costing with information and advice on residential building projects in the UK.
The author is an experienced housebuilder and renovator and much of the detail in the book is drawn from personal experience.
The sixth edition has been fully revised, expanded and updated to reflect recent changes in prices and legislation and it includes sections specifically for renovators and converters. This 400-page book has been completely redesigned and includes new tables, designed to be clearer and easier to use.
It's an ideal companion for anybody, selfbuilder or professional, who seeks to build well and wants to know more about how to make and stick to a budget.
Synopsis
A unique title that combines cost information with guidance and comment in the fast growing selfbuild arena. Now in its sixth edition, the Housebuilders Bible is fully up to date on recent building reg changes for the UK mark This is one of those books that has become a cult hit despite the publishing and bookselling trades. Self published because no publisher was originally interested in the concept, sold via mail order because bookshops don't like to deal with one man and a dog publishers, it first appeared in 1994 with a print run of just a few hundred. The print run on the previous edition was more than 30,000. So who is buying it and why? The majority of purchasers are drawn from Britain's growing army of selfbuilders, people building new homes or renovating existing ones, who appreciate the frank and at times brutal appraisal of their efforts. However there is also a large number of architects, surveyors and builders who sing its praises. The information in the book is detailed and infomative yet the presentation is succint and often witty. If you just want to find out how the British build houses, this is a fascinating read. If you want to actually build one yourself, then frankly you'd be nuts not to have read this book from cover to cover. It's 400 pages are packed with information on all aspects of homebuilding and renovating including more than 90 tables which detail current construction costs on everything from drains to hanging curtains. Even if the only tools you ever lift are your chequebook and your credit card, you will still benefit from owning this book.
