Residential Printreading

3rd Edition
By Leonard P. Toenjes

Residential Printreading covers common residential construction materials and techniques and relates this information to various residential prints using a fundamental approach. Print reading and construction practices are presented in the sequence that occurs on an actual job site - from property layout and excavation through finish installation.

Residential Print Reading Includes:

• Math applications integrated throughout the text
• Factoids and photographs enhance topics
• Separate Prints Folder allows easy access and storage of prints
• Comprehensive appendix and glossary provide an abundance of reference material related to residential construction.

All types of drawings included in a set of residential prints are thoroughly discussed and illustrated to help the learner interpret prints and visualize a completed structure. Five sets of plans included in the Prints Folder provide authentic printreading experiences. The prints include drawings and related construction documents for a contemporary one-story house, a two-story tract house, a one-story ranch house, a large colonial house, and a contemporary multistory house.
