Book Description
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.

This book explains topics only treated in a consultant's office. If ever. Newman has accurately identified relevant and otherwise hidden concepts for development in his book. Also very well researched.
I love this book very much! May 3, 1999

I love this book very much and finished the translation into Chinese last year. Any body interested in the Chinese edition of this book can contact me. I'm now doing some measurement on the publishing of this book in China market publically.
A permenant reference added to the industry's publications. September 5, 1998

The auther has poured his knowledge of metal building systems into each chapter. The material is fresh and current. The auther addressed most of the problems encountered by metal building professionals. You will find examples of the current details and designs of metal buildings used throughout the USA. Also, this book provides a guidline of the important issues in metal buildings.
