Get Constructive Lc

Description

GET CONSTRUCTIVE: A Modern Approach to Construction Studies is the most up-to-date textbook on the subject available to Leaving Cert students.

It approaches construction from the ground up, in the same way as buildings are actually built.

GET CONSTRUCTIVE begins with planning and works through all aspects of building, its materials and techniques. It is tailored to Irish practice, but also looks ahead to developments in building styles we may see in the future.
