Construction Graphics

Learn how managers of the construction process use construction graphics to analyze, evaluate, and organize the labor, equipment, and materials required to fulfill the design professionals’ instructions regarding a project. Construction drawings are, in their essence, a set of goals, the graphic and written instructions provided by architects and engineers to construction professionals that adequately manifest the outcomes sought for a project. Construction professionals translate those instructions into discreet processes and sequences of work, to which values—in both time and money—can be attributed. Construction Graphics has long stood as the essential treatment of this subject from the constructor’s point of view. Now updated from the second edition, the third edition reflects advances in technology and project delivery systems and offers an analysis of how the ideas discussed throughout the text might be applied in the context of one system in a commercial building. Construction Graphics continues to be an indispensable volume for anyone managing construction work. Readers of the third edition of Construction Graphics will also find: Enhanced treatment of technology as it operates in construction project delivery and the relationship between design professionals and builders Exercises at the end of each chapter, with detailed answers in a helpful appendix Illustrations and figures throughout to emphasize key concepts Construction Graphics is ideal for students in construction management, construction engineering, architecture, architectural engineering, project management, and interior design programs in community college and four-year university programs.
