Designed in a structured, directed format to help develop understanding, rather than just providing a simple source of information, this textbook offers comprehensive coverage of the refurbishment and maintenance of existing buildings, with a focus on the environmental impact of refurbishment rather than new build in the context of sustainability. Uniquely, both housing and large-span, multi-storey commercial and industrial buildings are covered in detail within this one text. This volume builds on material introduced in Construction Technology 1: House Construction and Construction Technology 2: Industrial and Commercial Building, but is also valuable as a standalone text.

This textbook is aimed at undergraduates in Building Surveying, Construction Management, Architectural Technology, and Quantity Surveying, as well as HNQ programmes in building-related subjects; and Masters level students on conversion courses. It is also ideal for associated Built Environment courses e.g. Land Management, Civil Engineering, where the basic technologies need to be understood.

New to this Edition:
- Increases the focus on the sustainability aspects of refurbishment and the use and occupation of buildings
- The decision basis for demolition is considered in greater detail, together with the principles and practices of fa§ade retention
