Carpenters working on stores and offices need specialized skills and knowledge not required in residential construction. This manual explains how to handle carpentry that's unique to commercial projects.
Every chapter of Carpentry in Commercial Construction begins with suggestions on how to plan and organize the work to improve production, and ends with a step-by-step guide to actually doing each task described.
Over 160 tables, charts, drawings and pictures are included to help you understand everything that's explained.
Carpentry in Commercial Construction covers:
- forming
- framing
- exteriors
- interior finish
cabinet installation
- how to design and build concrete forms
- select lumber dimensions
- what grades and species to use for a design load
- how to select and install materials based on their fire rating or
sound-transmission characteristics
- How to plan and organize a job efficiently
Chapter 2 explains the principles of good form design and includes tables so you can provide enough wales, braces, ties and shores. Formwork for commercial jobs must be designed carefully because concrete surfaces are usually
larger and the pressure of wet concrete much greater than on residences.
Chapter 3 outlines basic timber engineering principles and describes how to select the right lumber grade and species. Framing on stores and small offices is usually designed to meet load criteria established by the
engineer. That makes selection of the right lumber and fasteners very important.
Chapter 4 explains how to handle roof framing on commercial buildings and emphasizes the work
most common on commercial jobs: roof trusses, heavy sheathing and overhanging roof surfaces on
storefronts.
Chapter 5 tells how to install the wood sheathing, siding, doors and windows commonly used on
commercial buildings. Coverage tables are included to help you estimate quantities.
The Author: Byron W. Maguire has 45 years of experience in and around the construction industry. He has
done, taught and written about almost every phase of construction, including residential and
commercial carpentry, masonry and management. He knows the problems you're likely to face in commercial carpentry, and how to avoid or minimize them through advance planning and careful work habits.
