About the topic/technology
Buildings must perform efficiently, be aesthetically pleasing, and meet specific legal and financial guidelines. To meet these goals, architects and other building professionals are required to understand not only design, but also sitework, materials, finishes, environmental control systems, and contract administration.
All of these pieces are summarized and organized by the Construction Specifications Institute's MasterFormatTM. Building professionals prefer to plan and organize a project based on this
system, since each component of a building project can be found in exactly the same section.

About the book
Established as one of the leading books on the materials and methods of construction, the Eighth Edition of Construction has been renamed Olin's Construction to reflect the brand identity that Harold Olin brought to this standard text. Acquired from Van Nostrand Reinhold, this flagship title quickly joined in the success of the Wiley building construction list. No other book on the subject is as comprehensive as Olin's Construction. Whether a builder, designer, contractor, or manager, readers have for generations mastered the principles of construction operations with Olin.
