Synopsis

A manual presenting design concepts aimed at improving the efficiency of traditional masonry housebuilding by reducing the site man-hour content of new masonry houses and thereby increasing productivity and competitiveness, while enabling a wide range of construction options to be used within this framework. After explaining the benefits to be gained by the housebuilder from using the recommendations, the major part of the manual is devoted to the presentation of "The design package", which demonstrates the recommended methods of communicating design information. The package consists of location, assembly and component drawings for both terraced and detached housing examples, together with a pricing/costing document for each type and a specimen specification relevant to both types.
