Means Graphic Construction Standards Book

Means Graphic Construction Standards bridges the gap between rough construction concepts and actual construction methods. With masterful illustrations of individual assemblies, systems, and components, you can see quickly which construction methods work best to meet design, budget and time objectives. Incisive discussion of each assembly...features, uses, advantages, limitations.

Accompanying charts provide man-hours per unit-in-place by component and entire assemblies. The man-hour data enables you to compare assemblies by time and cost factors in minutes.

Each graphic is labeled and sized, where appropriate, with unit and component terms to ensure you're completely familiar with what each segment of the assembly is called.

By designing with assemblies and related components, you can develop construction concepts that meet use, budget and time goals with ease.

Detailed illustrations of construction assemblies and individual components enable readers to see which methods work best to meet their particular design.
