• Refurbishment and repair accounts for approximately 50 per cent of annual construction turnover. It is therefore essential that practitioners and those students who aspire to work in this sector are equipped with the best tools to do the job. This book has been produced to fill that gap in construction literature. The nature of refurbishment and repair is markedly different from new-build work since it is necessary to work within the restraints of a pre-determind situation. Those who do so are faced with an existing building or structure that may be many years old. It may have been built to standards hardly recognisable when compared to those of today.It is therefore necessary to build safely and to match as closely as possible comtemporary standards on sustainability and energy conservation. It is also apparent that existing buildings may not conform to 21st century standards of structural analysis or stability - and yet have stood without distress for many years. Guidence is provided to deal with such situations together with ideas on how to assess the residual life of a refurbished or repaired building.First and foremost it is essential for those involved in this type of work to gain an intimate knowledge of the structure under consideration. This book suggests ways of seeking this knowledge. Failure to investigate the history of existing develpoments may add considerably to the cost of construction and, in the extreme, to structural collapse involving injury or loss of life. This book proceeds logically through the reasons to consider refurbishment and repair and offers advice on risks, discovery, contracts, materials, learning from the past and legal restraints. Best practice is illustrated by a series of case studies. Extensive bibliographies have been provided to assist those with the need for further research. "Refurbishment and Repair in Construction" provides a companion volume to "Site Engineers Manual" which will be available as a second edition.

• Originally published by the Danish Standards Institute, this guide for the EN 1504-standards addresses the principles and methods that form the basis of the choice of repair materials and systems for rehabilitation of damaged concrete structures.
• The introduction of these standards not only applies a common set of values for the industry but also relate to the current drive to improve supply chain integration and to increase the value specialist input to projects in the early design stages, when it can be most beneficial.
• The book guides the reader through the EN 1504 series giving practical guidelines and examples to the main principles of the standards. It also gives concise explanatory notes to the annexes, which will help any professional in the building and construction industry fulfill the requirements for repairing concrete.

• Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

• Whether because of changing lifestyles or simply because houses are becoming outdated, millions of North Americans are renovating their homes every year, spending more money annually on renovation than on new-home construction. But renovations can be fraught with unintended consequences like indoor air pollution. How do you remodel in a healthy, environmentally friendly way? Green Remodeling is a comprehensive guide. It first points out the advantages of remodeling. Buildings are responsible for 40% of worldwide energy flow and material use; so how you remodel can make a difference. Upgrading furnaces, cabinets and toilets means less fossil fuel pollution, reduced resource depletion and fewer health risks. Green remodeling is more energy-efficient, more resource-conserving, healthier for occupants and creates buildings that are more affordable to build, operate and maintain. The book then discusses simple green renovation solutions for homeowners, focusing on key aspects of the building, including foundations, framing, plumbing, windows, heating and finishes. Room by room, it outlines the intricate connections that make the house work as a system. For example, how new windows may affect the structure and mechanical systems of the rooms below, the health of the family and the future of old-growth forests. Then, in an easy-to-read format complete with checklists, personal stories, expert insights and an extensive resource list, it covers easy ways to save energy, conserve natural resources and protect the health of loved ones. Addressing all climates, this is a perfect resource for conventional homeowners, as well as for architects and remodeling contractors. David Johnston was named one of the top 50 remodelers in the U.S. in 1990. He developed the first green remodeling program in the U.S. and is creating a national green certification program for the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Kim Master is a green building consultant. Both are from Boulder, Colorado.

• The revised second edition of Construction Project Management discusses the various facets of construction project management with a special emphasis on the fundamental concepts. The major principles of project management are explained with the help of real-life case studies. Simple examples are used to facilitate the better understanding of basic concepts before complex problems are discussed.

• THE RED BOOKA UNIT COST ESTIMATOR FOR CONSTRUCTION & INSURANCE DAMAGE REPAIRThe Red Book has been a trusted estimating guide for contractors and insurance adjusters since 1978. As a true unit cost estimator, it is the perfect tool for generating fair market price estimates from smaller jobs to large projects.Thousands of estimates have been written to date by contractors of new construction, remodeling and damage repair as well as property loss adjusters. Building maintenance companies and property appraisers have also used The Red Book as a guide and reference in their line of work.COSTINGInsurance companies have strict requirements for unit cost estimating.
• The Red Book was designed to exceed these guidelines. It has proven to be a valuable estimating tool which allows the estimator to separate labor and material for each individual item. It also provides contractors and adjusters the details for a clear understanding of the work description and costing.The latest edition has the hourly rates associated with the various construction building trades used in The Red Book. This enables The Red Book users to effectively and efficiently adjust construction costing for their areas. The lower and upper range of each labor rate is provided to help facilitate the bidding process. Since the Red Book is written by a contractor and continues to be maintained by contractors, it includes the details needed to ensure fair and efficient bidding of jobs. Feedback from its users report estimate accuracy generally falling within 3-5% plus or minus of actual job costs.CONTENTSThe Red Book is a versatile tool that contains over 14,000 individual items.
