Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This fully revised second edition of Modern Residential Construction Practices provides easy-to-read, comprehensive, and highly illustrated coverage of residential building construction practices that conform to industry standards in the United States and Canada.
Each chapter provides complete descriptions, real-world practices, realistic examples, three-dimensional (3D) illustrations, and related tests and problems. Chapters cover practices related to every construction phase including planning, funding, permitting, codes, inspections, site planning, excavation, foundations and flatwork, floors, walls, roofs, finish work and cabinetry; heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC); electrical; and plumbing. The book format is consistent with the process used to take residential construction projects from preliminary concept through all phases of residential building construction. The second edition reflects the latest methods and technologies in the industry and features new chapters and sections on construction management, construction safety, building information modeling (BIM), offsite construction, construction site mobilization, and more.
An ideal textbook for secondary and postsecondary construction courses and programs, the book is packed with useful features such as problems that challenge students to identify materials and practices, along with research and document information about construction materials and practices, useful summaries, key notes, and a detailed glossary.
