Concrete Building Scheme









Acknowledgements

Andrew Minson was the originator of the concept for this book, but the final format and content have evolved over time with input gratefully received by the author, Owen Brooker, from a number of people. The book contains some new material but many of the ideas and much of the data have been developed from many sources over several years. It is not possible to credit every source; indeed many are unknown, but wherever possible, references have been made to relevant documents.

Particular thanks are due to Jenny Burridge and Bob Wilson who have spent considerable time reviewing and commenting on drafts and providing useful guidance on what the examiners are expecting. Thanks are also due John Brazier, Andrew Cotter, Bryan Magee and Matt Obst, who have commented or made useful contributions in more specialised areas.

Gillian Bond, Issy Harvey and Michael Burbridge Ltd have also made essential contributions to the production of this handbook.
