Excellent guide - Rated
After ordering books on the same subject which turned out to be for the American market (Come on Amazon, make it clear), this book was superb. Very clear and written in a great style which made reading it easy and understandable.

Wish I'd had this book last year! - Rated
I'm planning to build my second extension later this year and I'm finding this Haynes guide dead useful - wish I'd had it first time round ! I like the way it explains choices with the design like trussed rafters v. traditional cut timber roofs, and concrete slab floors v beam & block. I also found the `which trades should be doing what at each stage' very useful, and which ones supply their own tools and materials. The important parts of the building regs are explained in a way that makes sense as you go thru the job. What's also good is the photography so you can actualy see what things look like in real life. It's a very interesting book to read even if your not going to do any of the building yourself! Ben.
