Summary

Interior Construction and Detailing for Designers and Architects is a timesaving reference for design professionals working in either commercial or residential construction. A comprehensive resource on materials, finishes, construction assemblies, mechanical and electrical systems, building codes, and planning standards, this book will boost the efficiency and effectiveness ness of design and detailing work. Wherever appropriate, the author uses the Construction Specifications Institute's Masterformat "RM" numbers (a standard system for organizing construction information), and a separate Masterformat "RM" index is provided. Hundreds of figures and tables illustrate the text.
