Updating and expanding on its popular first edition, the Handbookof Construction Tolerances, Second Edition remains the onlycomprehensive reference to the thousands of industry standardtolerances for the manufacture, fabrication, and installation ofconstruction materials and components-- including all-importantaccumulated dimensional variations.

Covering new materials and techniques developed since the book wasfirst published, the Second Edition of this easy-to-use referencefeatures:
* More than 100 drawings illustrating the tolerance concepts
* New sections on measuring compliance with tolerance standards;right-of-way construction; autoclaved aerated concrete; tilt-upconcrete panels; interior stone wall cladding; structural insulatedpanels; decorative architectural glass; laminated architecturalflat glass and bent glass
* New guidelines on how to incorporate tolerance requirements indrawings and specifications
* New information on how to apply tolerance information duringcontract administration

With the Handbook, architects, engineers, contractors, interiordesigners, lawyers, and others involved in the constructionindustry will be armed with the information they need to design anddetail more accurately, write better specifications, establishnormal practice and standards of care, supervise construction,settle worksite disputes, and save time and money at every stage ofbuilding.
