Key areas are highlighted with photos, graphics and tables and contents are fully indexed.The Housebuilder’s Bible has sold over 175,000 copies, making it far and away the best selling guidebook in its field. It is read by self-builders and home improvers, architects and contractors, surveyors and estate agents. Many now use it as their principle point of reference for their upcoming building projects.
