Print and Specifications Reading for Construction explains exactly how to interpret construction documents, offering students and professionals a complete package for learning and understanding. The text clearly lays out different graphic and written document types, how they developed, what information they contain, and their current use in residential and commercial construction today.

Alongside the text, online access to three complete sets of sample sheets gives you experience working with prints and specifications.
