Robin Barry's Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 in 5 volumes, rapidly becoming a standard text on construction. In its current 2 volume format Barry remains hugely popular with both students and lecturers of construction and related disciplines.

The third edition of Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings expands and deepens your understanding of construction technology. It covers the construction of larger-scale buildings (primarily residential, commercial and industrial) constructed with load bearing frames, supported by chapters on fit-out and second fix, lifts and escalators, off-site construction and a new chapter on building obsolescence and revitalisation. Functional and performance requirements of the main building elements are emphasised throughout, as is building efficiency and meeting the challenges of limiting the environmental impact of buildings. You will find the text fully up to date with the latest building regulations and construction technologies.

The new edition, with supporting material at www.wiley.com/go/barrysintroduction, is an ideal information source for developing a wider and deeper understanding of construction technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good, well written book with lots of useful information.

A good, well written book with lots of useful information. Doesn't cover as many topics as Chudley's, but covers key areas and goes into more detail. Would recommend to those starting out or have a few years experience.

Bought this book as a 1st year Building Surveying student. A great book with some clear diagrams and photos. Highly recommend.
Would also recommend Roy Chudley and Roger Green for further reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best resources for construction professionals - in metric!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2018
Verified Purchase
Again, another university recommended book - chiefly because this refers to metric measurements and UK/EU standards of building.

Moving on from  Barry's Introduction to Construction of Buildings 3E  this picks up some of the more advanced constructions, steel frame, curtain walls etc, required for more larger-scale construction.

Also worth checking out is the Building Construction Handbook -  Building Construction Handbook
