Editorial Review:
The comprehensive guide to construction tolerances, newly revised and updated

How much may a steel frame be out of plumb? What are the expected variations of a precast concrete panel? What is required to successfully detail finish materials on masonry?

Updating and expanding on its popular first edition, the Handbook of Construction Tolerances, Second Edition remains the only comprehensive reference to the thousands of industry standard tolerances for the manufacture, fabrication, and installation of construction materials and components-- including all-important accumulated dimensional variations.

Covering new materials and techniques developed since the book was first published, the Second Edition of this easy-to-use reference features:
* More than 100 drawings illustrating the tolerance concepts
* New sections on measuring compliance with tolerance standards; right-of-way construction; autoclaved aerated concrete; tilt-up concrete panels; interior stone wall cladding; structural insulated panels; decorative architectural glass; laminated architectural flat glass and bent glass
* New guidelines on how to incorporate tolerance requirements in drawings and specifications
* New information on how to apply tolerance information during contract administration

With the Handbook, architects, engineers, contractors, interior designers, lawyers, and others involved in the construction industry will be armed with the information they need to design and detail more accurately, write better specifications, establish normal practice and standards of care, supervise construction, settle worksite disputes, and save time and money at every stage of building.

Every (architectural ) office needs this book

2008-08-07
Every practicing architect has to learn the difference between what is drawn and what is actually constructable -- and tolerances are a big part of that educational leap. I can't count the number of times I've had to search some standard -- or first of all, to figure out which standard -- so that my response to a question isn't simply "because I said so". I really think that a copy of this book belongs with every project team, and especially once the project goes into construction. This will cut back on the conflicts between the architect's seeking perfection, and the contractors saying "but this was good enough on the last job!"

Construction tolerances for all
