The 8th edition of this popular title, "A book worth its weight in gold to everyone involved in house building," is thoroughly researched in cooperation with the Australian Timber, Brick, Concrete, and other relevant associations. It is written in Allan Staines' usual easy-to-comprehend style.

The manual now features over 660 clear and technically accurate drawings covering each stage of construction. The text and drawings correlate well. It covers the foundations and carpentry aspects in detail, as well as brick veneer, cavity brick, concrete brick systems, and weatherboard.

The manual provides current trade practices and hints that help bridge the gap between theory and practice. For these reasons, it is an essential classroom text.
