The Gypsum Construction Handbook (RSMeans)

Perfekt

Would give a 5 star review if the print was bigger. Finding hard to read.

I work for a drywall subcontractor as an estimator for Multifamily Projects. I've worked in construction for about 7 years and in that short amount of time I've seen countless changes. Whether it be products, project design, or software, technology and the introduction of a new generation of workers is pushing the industry forward at a breakneck pace. Codes and "best practices" are always evolving and handbooks like this are a great reference tool. Unfortunately, the architects responsible for designing the project, in my opinion, are overwhelmed by the advances and do not always spec/detail their projects with the correct materials or assemblies. So having a guide like this handbook gives me the documentation to explain why a certain condition is not ideal or just not appropriate.

Used to study for my C of Q for interior systems mechanic test. Decent book. Need to be updated with current tools/materials

Great Handbook. Read the entire book for Virginia Contractors License, Alot to learn.

Pretty much an industry bible, great for research. It is also available online, or at least it was at one point. I like the physical copy myself.
