The Building Work Handbook is a practical guide to building work for contractors, builders, property developers and homeowners. It contains everything you need to know to help ensure your building project runs smoothly from start to finish.

Inside you’ll learn:

How to plan and manage building work successfully

Preparing and understanding estimates and quotations

Building contracts and construction documentation

Obtaining local authority and building regulations approvals

Construction project management from start to finish

Managing variations, disputes and claims

Snagging, quality control and project completion

Best practices for builders, contractors and homeowners

Unlike most construction books, this handbook explains the building process from both the builder’s and client’s perspective, helping to improve communication, avoid costly mistakes and achieve successful project outcomes.

An essential reference for anyone involved in building work, construction management, home renovation, house extensions, property development or self-build projects.
