Review: Great book on residential structures - This book is excellent. It is a collection of best practices for residential construction and contains detailed drawing of everything from foundations to roofs. It is updated yearly Review: Make Sure You Order the Newest Edition!! 2009 not 1990!! - This is a great reference as you can tell just by previewing it through the desciption page. My only complaint is that I did not realize I was buying a 21 year old book on building and remodeling! Obviously that's my fault, but only now do I see what I did wrong -- Even though I was looking at the newest edition, when I made my selection for which seller and price to choose, I ended up ordering the 1990 edition by mistake. Lesson learned: Be extra careful to read the publish date even when you are choosing a seller via the item description that shows the edition you want. Still, the information in this book is invaluable and well worth the price. [As long as you get the new one] Try this: The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, 3rd Edition To help you understand the purpose of this book; It's not going to walk you through the actual building or renovation process from a physical labor standpoint, rather it will explain the properties of the many building materials, methods, and measurements you will need to know to do almost any residential project. There is a TON of information in this book, and you will certainly learn a lot by reading it. It covers aspects from climate zones and average wind directions to tables describing the charecteristics of everything from wood species and caulks to sources of water vapor and sound transmission classes of walls. It tells you all the detailed stuff you might want/need to know, but can't find out simply by asking the guy at the home improvement store. This is a great source of information that would be a perfect guide during a building/remodeling project once you are already familiar with basic carpentry and have at least some relevant experience. It would also be a good purchase if you just want to better understand the ins and outs of what goes into building and remodeling a home. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #957,879 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Contracting How-to & Home Improvement #24 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,118 Reviews | ## Images ![The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, 4th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-cn-BhPzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book on residential structures *by S***W on August 3, 2025* This book is excellent.

Moment, over and over again... *by S***E on October 16, 2021* I'm a reluctant DIY'er, because I don't have a lot of money to pay everyone to do everything for me, and I have a mortgage, want the place not to fall down around me. So there's home maintenance I need to do, and the occasional, unexpected, "wth?!?!?!" finding. I can read "how to" and watch Youtube instructional videos all day, and still not feel like I understand what I'm doing enough to tell the good advice from the bad. I'm a big visual learner- I need a picture, not just words on a page. This book helped me understand houses, mechanicals, and how things bascially go together. Things make a lot more sense to me after looking at this book. In turn? I'm able to read or watch instructions videos and "get it" the first time, or see through some of the not-such-good-advice on the internet. This was totally worth the price to me. But this is not a, "First you do this, then do that..." manual. That would be a different book. This is more like pictures of "what it is, and how it should be." DIY gold. ## Frequently Bought Together - Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, The - The Housebuilder's Bible: 14th Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/60349732-the-visual-handbook-of-building-and-remodeling-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/60349732-the-visual-handbook-of-building-and-remodeling-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
