Reviews

This work must be the supreme authority on the subject. ASCHB This is an excellent book for those involved in Buildings Archaeology, but read it before you commission or execute a buildings survey to remind you how a common sense approach can lead to a greater understanding and thereby protection of the historic environment. Buildings Archaeology Group This second edition book provides a broad and up to date examination of the many aspects of measuring and recording historic buildings. Although it assumes some existing knowledge of a highly technical subject, it is a book which can easily be read cover to cover by anyone wanting to grasp an overview of the methods and techniques available in this field. The authors manage to create a highly readable text interjected with good illustrative drawings, sketches and photographs, which provide the reader with a clear understanding of the subject within its broader context. Journal of Architectural Conservation To any individual who is interested in buildings and/or surveying, this publication is a must. Building Engineer
