Written specifically for all members of Ontario’s residential construction industry, this book is your guide to building modern, professional-grade homes. This important reference consists of 16 full chapters solely concerned with the details of constructing detached, semi-detached or row houses.
All relevant portions from the Ontario Building Code 1997 (OBC 1997) have been poured into this volume. It is cross-referenced to (and follows the sequence of) the OBC 1997, but also includes a number of features and insights not addressed in the Code requirements. Now in its 3rd edition, the Guide incorporates all of the 1997 changes to the OBC that apply to housing. Updated to June 1999.
The Construction Guide uses plain language and is loaded with illustrated examples of the best building practices based on industry research and manufacturer’s recommendations.
