This is a brilliant book! After discovering this handbook, through a colleague at work, I felt I just had to have my own copy. As a design manager for a large construction company, it is invaluable to have a ready source of all those data that allow me to check for a complete and workable design - the devil is in the detail - and the details are almost sure to be here. Just about every type of public and private building or facility is dealt with, from farms to factories and from law courts to laboratories. There are also sections on generic aspects such as HVAC, lighting, sound and structural materials. All the data is fully referenced back to source and relevant codes and standards.For any design office I would think the corresponding CD-ROM, from which symbol drawings can be copied into CAD files, would be a must.

An exceedingly thorough compilation of all those annoying facts and figures you can never remember or find any where else! This book is always open at the end of my desk, and I now have to fight for it with my colleagues to get to the information. No project or facilities manager, specification writer or other member of the construction industry should be without it!
Must-have reference book October 23, 2006

This is a valuable pool of infomation on ergonomics, minimum dimensions, information on parking, vehicle dimensions, building dimensions, design of buildings for different purposes and much, much more. I probably have only used about a tenth of the information within the book (I don't have much use for info on airport design, for example) but we use it regularly in our office as a reference book and should we ever need to know the dimensions of a cow, we know just where to look....
 Not amazing but better than the rest! February 1, 2007

Here is an area where the old school of design still lingers, the book is very suitable for specific tasks but really needs improving on. Having said that I threw away my copy of Charlotte Baden-Powell's book as soon as I got this - because even this tome is much more useable than hers.
