5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, practial guide for novice home builder/remodelers, February 3, 1997
By A Customer
I would recommend this excellent, practical guide to anyone who needs to understand the home design process. It is filled with only useful information, while offering helpful hints on what to avoid, as well as look for in home design and building professionals

3.0 out of 5 stars Mistitled, August 4, 2006
This book is mostly about the people you will deal with as they help you design your house, it's not about doing it yourself.
If you are doing it yourself, there is a section on spaceflow bubbles. And some checklists for what to consider and include in plans. both of which could help in the process.
I found some useful comments on inspections - not the code structural ones, but the "are the joists in the way of recessed lights" type, that could be useful when I get to that point.
