Do the equations make sense in the lecture hall but blur the moment you are standing on a real site with a decision to make? Do sustainability, net-zero energy, mass timber, prefabrication, and digital tools feel like a wave you are already falling behind? Are you tired of stitching the answer together from a dozen scattered references that never quite agree?
Fundamentals of Building Construction Handbook was written to end that scramble. In fourteen structured chapters it carries you from first principles to modern practice, tying materials, structures, envelopes, codes, and digital methods into one connected system. Written for civil, structural, and construction engineering students and for practicing professionals, it explains every idea from the ground up and proves it with step-by-step worked examples, practice problems with worked answer keys, and clear technical figures, so the theory finally becomes something you can apply with confidence.
Inside, you will:
- Master loads, foundations, and load-bearing frames in concrete, steel, and masonry, with every calculation shown in full.
- Design efficient building envelopes and understand the building physics of heat, air, and moisture.
- Apply sustainable low-carbon and net-zero-energy strategies, from embodied carbon to on-site renewables.
- Use prefabrication, mass timber, building information modelling, digital twins, robotics, and 3D printing with a clear grasp of when and why they pay.
- Read construction documents and weigh project delivery methods to balance cost, time, and risk.
- Navigate building codes, occupancy, egress, fire protection, and site safety with confidence.
Construction is changing faster than it has in a generation, and the gap between those who understand the new methods and those who do not is widening on every project. The engineers who build that understanding now will lead the work; those who wait will spend years catching up. One clear, current reference is the difference between guessing and knowing.
Make this handbook the reference you reach for first. Add Fundamentals of Building Construction Handbook to your toolkit today and start building with confidence, one sound decision at a time.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
