Start to End on How to Build a House

A contractor (builder) knows something that engineers don't, and an engineer knows something that a contractor doesn't. So basically this book is a perfect mixture of both, comprising of every single step starting from the knowledge needed for selecting a plot to the final completion/occupancy certificate; and in-between it consists of well established details and process regarding - Land survey, planning, permits, foundation, plinth, columns, walls, staircases, slabs and beams, plastering, plumbing, wiring, painting, flooring and fixing of doors and Windows. After my admission in Civil Engineering College, I used to always wonder what is basically civil engineering or how is a house made?College books were providing knowledge in parts, and never covered the whole process including important small operations needed for it.Finally after failing to find such kind of book I decided why not write a book instead. So with the assistance of my dad who holds an experience of 15 years in construction business; wrote this book.I made it with an aim of clearing your concepts about what is building a house is all about. - VIRAJ PATIL
