McGraw-Hill Education Time-Saver Standards for Building Materials & Systems: Design Criteria and Selection Data

An important addition to the "Time-Saver Standards" series, this book offers top-flight guidance for architects and builders who need to select any type of product, system, component, material, or assembly for any job. It provides easy-to-understand guidance on how various materials function, considers key issues in product selection, and offers general information on the full range of product types. It is organized by CSI MasterFormat - the product specification system most commonly used in construction and in the Sweet's catalogs. It is cross-referenced to the UniFormat system, which indexes products by the sequence of assembly in design and construction - a real plus when engaged in preliminary design and cost-estimating.
