Ten Great Books On House Design And Construction

These are ten tried-and-true books I have in my personal library that I think are some of the best on the subject of house design and construction. If you are a carpenter, woodworker, builder, architect, DIY warrior, old house owner or realtor there is something here for you! The links below are to the current editions, as some of the books in the video may be older editions.

Very good I wanted you to give us the necessary books

Every suggestion was great and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Fantastic! A treasure trove of great books. I see a few I'll be giving as gifts.

I forgot to mention in the comments that I have future plans for another video about woodworking books, and I have some real gems for that one which would make awesome gifts.

This was great; it's always fun to see what is someone else's library. I'm going to have to buy Building Construction Illustrated. In addition, one book that i've frequently referred to is "The Old-House Journal: Guide to Restoration." It's been helpful in restoring my Victorian. A lot of exploded diagrams, etc.

Yeah, sometimes a single book is so very helpful for a particular project.

Working alone by John Carroll is excellent, 👍🔨🇮🇪

I have the newer edition of Ching’s “Building Construction Illustrated”. It’s a GREAT book!
