A Building Craft Foundation is part of a series of books specially written for the NVQ Construction awards by leading authors including Peter Brett and W G Nash. In addition to A Building Craft Foundation, there are two other Level 2 books, Carpentry and Joinery and Bricklaying.

Peter Brett has written numerous books on carpentry and joinery and was involved in piloting the new NVQ schemes at Brooklyn College, Birmingham. He is, therefore, well qualified to write this Common Core book, plus the Carpentry and Joinery book at Level 2.
