not the best of the Haynes manuals
Basic and out of date, not the best of the Haynes manuals. This books simply doesn't cover modern ways of construction, like SIP or modular foundation.

Glad I bought it Useful and informative.
We have used this a lot as a source book, it is a bit more than an introduction and there is a lot of useful information. It could be read by the novice but also useful for those who are a bit further down the track but obviously it is not meant for the trade..Clearly set out.

Excellent product
This is an excellent book. Currently in the process of getting a large extension and wanted to do it in sections. This book is perfect. It explains every step and helps you to understand what must happen. This is a must whether doing it yourself or getting in a builder. Would recommend this for anyone looking to do with to their house.

Good book, unnecessarily grubby tone.
Great book for an overview and helped us plan the project management of our build. My wife is running the project (we also have three daughters) and was not impressed by this laddish tone in this image. What’s the benefit? Can you only run a build if you go lap dancing?

Informative and Extremely Helpful to understand what is involved in building extensions
Easy to read, clear process outlined for each milestone in the project.In the process of building an extension, wished i bought it when we where thinking about the the extension. Lots of helpful information and clarifies all the steps that are required before the whole process will kick off.As other reviewers mentioned, if you are planning to self build this not the book to go for.
