"In the new fifth edition of Fundamentals of Building Construction , Allen and Iano set a new benchmark by incorporating sustainability issues into a mainstream construction textbook, section by section, as in this concise overview from the first chapter. We also look forward to a future edition of their outstanding book in which appropriate sustainability considerations have penetrated every topic and page." ( ArchitectureWeek , April 13, 2009)

Bought and paid for the book. Seller said it was damaged and they would find another. Then I received a shipping notice. When it didn’t arrive when they said, I waited a week and contacted seller. Received a quick refund. Now it is listed again for twice the price. This seller is a ripoff artist and should be banned from eBay.

  • Very good reference and study text.

    If you study Architecture or construction, then this book covers the materials and methods of construction principles. Highly informative, but all images are in black and white. Otherwise, a great textbook edition.

  • Packaged it perfectly! would buy him from again.

    I got the book on the day it said I would get it. also, the package itself was packed very well, with packaging peanuts! we had a huge store and I walk out side to find my package on the ground soaked. apparently the mail man didn't see our porch and just threw it in the drive way.... Luckily the packaging peanuts absorbed the water and my book was completely dry!!!!

    I buy it because of my class. The content and pictures are so nice. It's easy for me to understand some hard definitions.

  • Fast Ship, good price a+. Very happy!

    Great book, has all the information one would need an provides in a easily understandable format! Great reference book to have on the shelf!
