Updated resource guiding readers through the analysis and choices required to ensure a building will perform as expected Robin Barry’s Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 as a five-volume set and rapidly became a standard work on the subject. Following Barry’s death in 2002, a two-volume format was adopted with new authors. Developed from an earlier book by Tony Bryan, this new third volume, Barry’s Construction Technology, extends the coverage to show how decisions about the design, production, maintenance and disposal of buildings may be thought through given the materials and technology available. The book challenges the reader to think about the consequences of making choices and decisions rather than relying on using what has been used before. Barry’s Construction Technology: Analysis and Choice includes information on: The climate emergency and the low carbon agenda as a fundamental part of construction technology analysis and choiceRegenerative design, net zero buildings, and the circular economy for the built environmentConstraints that location, legislation, codes and standards, sustainability, insurance, and commercial pressures apply to the performance of buildingsSpecific construction technology examples, with emphasis on questioning what we do and why, with the aim of informing and stimulating the reader to ask questions when confronted with all design and construction projectsBarry’s Construction Technology: Analysis and Choice is an essential, practical, and up-to-date reference for undergraduate students of all building construction programmes including surveying, construction management, architectural technology, and architecture.

The second edition of Construction Technology: Analysis and Choice has been expanded to include commercial buildings. This now covers, in a single textbook, all the basic forms of construction studied on professional courses. The book takes as its theme the process of choice: what the expert has to know and how he/she might think through the decisions to be made about the design, production, maintenance and disposal of buildings.It is written with the conviction that by focusing on the process of choice, the range of theory and knowledge that is useful to practice becomes explicit, making the link between knowledge and practice, and between understanding and experience.The new edition has been updated throughout with extensive additions to Chapter13: Manufacture and Assembly and to Chapter 15: Sustainability. An entire new section has been added, covering all the main elements of commercial construction.Students will find here explanations of how environments, structural behaviour, production know-how, cost and social concerns such as sustainability can be taken into account in the choice of construction. They will also gain a clear understanding of the construction details and specifications adopted for both housing and commercial buildings in the UK at the beginning of the 21st century. Provides a framework to think through proposed solutionsSets the choice of solution in both time and place, and in the context of sustainabilityFocuses on key questions: will the proposal fail; and can it be built?Considers a building’s response to loading, environmental conditions and timeLooks at the production process as manufacture and assemblyBook website at www.wiley.com/go/bryanconstructiontech2eContains nearly 200 fully referenced, clear line drawings to download for free, as well as suggested learning activities for lecturers to incorporate into their teaching programmes.
