Commercial Drafting and Detailing offers readers clear explanations and professional, step-by-step examples for producing each of the architectural and structural drawings required in a complete set of commercial plans - from site, floor, stairs, and roof plans, to framing and foundation plans, and more! As they progress through the book, readers are challenged to develop critical thinking skills in order to solve design problems consistent with the 2000 International Building Code (IBC) as well as current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifications. Comprehensive in scope, each chapter concludes with engineering sketches to aid in completing standard construction details related to specific building materials, such as: lumber, timber, steel, masonry, poured concrete, and fire-resistive materials. Thoroughly revised and updated, this edition is particularly well suited for use independently or as a companion text to our best-selling Architectural Drafting & Design book (also by Alan Jefferis).

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not the greatest book for me,
By Catholiccat (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Commercial Drafting And Detailing (Delmar Drafting Series) (Paperback)
I guess I don't understand construction details, but I didn't understand a single problem in this book. I had to refer to my Construction: Materials, Methods, and Techniques by William Spence in order to answer the review questions. The problems were writtin in short hand with abbreviations I didn't know. I think this book might be a little intimidating to someone who is not familiar with construction or detailing.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book!,
