Established as one of the leading books on the materials and methods of construction, the Ninth Edition of Construction was renamed Olin's Construction to reflect the brand identity that Harold Olin brought to this standard text. The most comprehensive text on the subject, Olin's Construction covers sitework; concrete, steel, masonry, wood, and plastic materials; sound control; mechanical and electrical systems; doors and windows; finishes, industry standards; codes; barrier free design; and much more. There is also extensive coverage of the metric system of measurement. Whether a builder, designer, contractor, or manager, readers have for over two generations mastered the principles of construction operations with Olin.
