It distils all the technical guidance you need on a particular topic - be it basement construction, flat roofing, or sustainable urban drainage solutions. It is an invaluable information source for a wide range of construction professionals - from architects and builders to non-specialist DIY enthusiasts. It summarizes all the relevant technical detail, guidelines, and regulations. It features technical sketches, cartoons, authoritative information, as well as off-beat humor. "Shortcuts: Book 1" focuses on issues to do with the structure and fabric of buildings. Grouped into four main subject areas (Structure; Fabric and Finishes; Fixtures and Fittings; and Drainage) the Shortcuts range from rain screen cladding to fire protection, from lofts to lifts, and from LEDs to SUDS.
