Single and multifamily dwellings as well as mixed-use and light commercial project plans are covered.

Specifi cations describing the building components and construction procedures are also included for two of the projects: the Brick-Veneer Residence and the Wendy's® Restaurant.

Updated coverage on building codes, the CSI MasterFormat®, LEED® certifi cation, and green building technology complements the prints.
