Finding hard to read. Review: Must Have for Drywallers - Also known as "The Bible" among interior contractors. - 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. ## Features - R S Means Company ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,552,208 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6,148 in Civil Engineering #7,585 in Architecture (Books) #28,564 in Engineering & Technology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 194 Reviews | ## Images ![The Gypsum Construction Handbook (Rsmeans) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KkqgzD1TS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good overall information but print is way too small. *by T***. on 8 February 2024* Would give a 5 star review if the print was bigger.
