Building reference books

[tukky142]

Hi,

I am about to embark on building a new garage and an extension to my house. I plan to do some of the work myself with support from builders where required.

Can anyone recommend some reference books that i could get hold of?

Thanks in advance

Try these:

Measuring, Marking, and Layout: A Builder's Guide
ISBN: 1561583359
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1561583359/
It's a US book though

The Housebuilder's Bible: An Insider's Guide to the Construction Jungle, 6th Edition
ISBN: 0954867408 6th Edition
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0954867408/
