Building Surveys

Autor Peter Glover
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2001
Since 1983 'Building Surveys' has been a favourite source of reference for architecture, building and surveying. The book's emphasis on the practical knowledge, techniques and equipment required to inspect and report accurately make it invaluable for both professionals and students. Peter Glover has fully updated his book and added extra material for this 4th Edition including a new chapter on the increasingly important role of the surveyor as expert witness. The Government proposals for compulsory 'Sellers Packs', including a Home Condition Report as part of the house selling process in England and Wales, are also covered.

Starting with an introduction to the role of surveyor, the book covers the main structural elements, finishes and surfaces before dealing with the various types of reports and buildings that surveyors may encounter, including historic buildings and the surveyor's role in conservation. Students will find it a comprehensive introduction to this important subject.


*Contains all the necessary guidance to ensure the student understands their subject fully
*Written by a practising surveyor, providing the reader with real-world examples and experience
*Updated throughout including new material on the latest legislative changes, acting as an expert witness and new policy developments.

Recenzii

Reviews of previous editions:

'All [surveyors] would profit by reading this book and, if they remembered the excellent advice it gives, it would bring a broad smile to the faces of the insurers ... The book is full of useful information, much of which I have not seen before. ... should be compulsory reading for all who do it.' Chartered Surveyor Weekly

'A lively, readable and informative book ... Most technical books have to be read little by little over time, but this is one which can be read from cover to cover at a single sitting. ... A book with something for everyone involved in domestic building surveys from prospective purchaser to practising surveyor. It should be compulsory reading for the graduate entrant on the first day in the office if not previously read and inwardly digested'Estates Gazette

'In presentation and content, this is a practical and useful addition to the library of all surveyors at all stages in their careers with, of course, particular reference to building and general practice surveyors. Both writing and printing are clear and precise and make for easy reading of what can be a complex subject. ... This is a good read and a recommended buy for reference'Architect & Surveyor

'The book is written in an easily readable style, giving credibility to the author's advice that building survey reports use simple straightforward English.'The Surveyor and Valuer
