This
book from an expert on metal building systems–the first an author
unaffiliated with an industry trade group–offers important, valuable,
and unbiased information that can save you money and time–and that may
even save your building! Full of essential features, tips and advice,
this guide goes beyond manufacturer-supplied information to warn you of
potential design pitfalls and to point out specific recurring problems
and failures of MBS drawn from actual experience. It provides specific
help–unavailable elsewhere–with specifying and selecting secondary
framing, walls, roofs, and much, much more. This is the one book that
is a must-have for any professional involved with pre-engineered
buildings.
