Smarter Construction is about easy and cost-effective building through the smart combination of products, systems and processes. It’s a balancing act– and it can be achieved without sacrificing aesthetics or sustainability.

The Smarter Construction Book gives you insights into the right approach for the job and, at the same time, questions a few “accepted” myths.

• The first section explores the typical costs and smarter options to build each of the key elements on the outside, like roofs, external walls, openings and clip-ons, as well as those on the inside, like wet areas and internal walls.
• There’s also a special focus on building on sloping sites and in bushfire-prone areas.
• The second section focuses on processes. From design, through to estimating, site preparation and construction, this book provides you with a guide to streamlined and easy building.
