Product Review Summary: Very little value for money I found the book of very little value. Most of steel structures these days gets calculated and drawn up by computer. The assembly of the computer generated panels are dead easy and far cheaper than doing it by hand. More time should have been spent discussing the various options regarding cladding, insulation, utilities etc.
Product Review Summary: Steel-Frame House Construction Book was very informative and easy to understand. In plain english, I recommand this book to any one who is interseted in Steel Frame Constrction.
Product Review Summary: Useful for beginners Simple but with all the stuff one needs to start building steel framed houses. Pity there isn't a version with metric measurements.
Product Review Summary: Answered My Questions... While it was not the book I expected, it does cover the topic of framing your house in steel very well. It even answers the question of "How do I hang a picture?" :-) This book is for the DIY with a small house or for professionals who want to switch to working with steel. From start to finish, it is framing in steel.
