Introduction
The
Construction Building Envelope and Interior Finishes Databook
provides the project man-
ager, construction superintendent, design consultant and facility managers with a one-source refer-
ence guide to building envelope and roofing systems, interior partition work, and floor, wall and ceil-
ing finish installations, components and material specifications.
Sprinkled through-out are handy “Tips” and checklists.
Valuable information including ADA guidelines, “soft” and “hard” metrification conversion charts
along with useful tables and formulas also resides within the covers of this book.
How many times during project meetings or visits to the field, or in conversations with subcon-
tractors or design consultants is it convenient to have a concise source of construction details, ma-
terials or specifications at your fingertips? The
Construction Building Envelope and Interior Fin-
ishes Databook
was written with those needs in mind.
I selected those components that, in my forty years in the construction industry, appear to be
those for which reference material is so often required, and, of course, always needed “yesterday.”
Much of the material in this book has been gleaned from manufacturer’s sources and from the
many trade organizations that are only to willing to assist in disseminating valuable information.
Some of this information is proprietary in nature, but much is generic and varies just slightly from
producer to producer.
For those experienced construction professionals the
Construction Building Envelope and In-
terior Finishes Databook
may serve as a “refresher course” and for those new to the industry, it of-
fers a simple way to become familiar with the complex and often bewildering array of materials and
installation techniques that make up today’s structures.
I hope you find this book a worthwhile addition to your construction library.
