The side-by-side English-Spanish layout of Casa Construction is great, which makes it easy to reference English and Spanish words.
Devloo's descriptions of construction concepts are relevant and helpful. Diagrams and labeled photos are great learning tools.
I'm taking the book with me anytime I need to meet with Spanish-speaking contractors.

I highly recommend Casa Construction, Exterior!

-Jason Schlarb, MBA

My husband and I are building a house in Costa Rica and our builder speaks excellent English, but we wanted a way to speak directly to subs on the job. Also, our architect, who speaks only minimal spanish, wanted to make sure that he was communicating his ideas completely to engineers and sub-contractors. Casa Construction was the perfect solution! It is easy to use and very complete in its handling of common construction practices. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is building a house in Latin America--or even here in the USA where communication can still be a big issue.

Es una herramienta de trabajo excelente. Me ayuda todo el tiempo en mi charla diaria con trabajadores de la lengua americana, quienes me han encargado una copia para ellos también!!!
Lo consultamos muchas veces al día porque nos facilita la comunicación enormemente. Lo tengo conmigo siempre!!!
La información está explicada de manera simple y todos la podemos entender perfectamente y explicar conceptos en otro idioma gracias al sistema lado a lado y las fotos y esquemas que posee el libro.

It's a great work tool. It helps me all the time in my daily talking with workers of the american language, who have asked me for a copy for them too!!
We consult it several times a day because it helps us to communicate. I have it with me all the time!!!
The information is explained in a simple way and all of us can understand it perfectly and explain concepts in the other language thanks to the side-to-side format and it's photos and drawings.

My husband works in construction. It would really benefit him to understand english better. This book is loaded with information. I like the side by side spanish english translation. Great buy!
