Industry Reviews

"Constructability: A Tool for Project Management is a studious guide written especially for professionals in the field of architecture and construction. Chapters discuss the concept of "constructability" as a means to promote sustainable architecture practices. How can buildings be planned so that they won't unduly tax local utilities and resources, and so that recycling and waste management are performed as efficiently as possible? (Construction and demolition waste is estimated from 10% to 20% of municipal waste). Methodical and scholarly, Constructability is a "must" for college and professional library Architecture shelves, highly recommended. "Sustainable development does not require a different method of construction [...] It is unique characteristic of the building, which can be realized by its working efficiency and the remarks of its end users. Such buildings will use optimum resources, be workable, consume less energy, use renewable sources of energy, and bring comfort to its users."
