100 proven construction details

The book gathers a quality selection of tried and tested construction details from the literature (books, magazines, musterbuchs) of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries for the still functional and widespread construction systems of the brick house. The reader will find details of the formwork here, Gagging, masonry structures, hole fillers, trusses, roofs, fittings, cladding and more. The pictures are accompanied by a short insider commentary or a description of the procedure for a particular detail. The authors also point out errors that can occur during the implementation and that can invalidate the work. Variations from the current design and technological standard of the construction industry are attached to selected details in the comments.

Not only conservationists, architects and designers, but also students of building schools and property owners will find inspiration in the book. Last but not least, the book will be a guide for construction companies dealing with the repair of historic buildings.
