I purchased this book because of another review. I want to add a basement under my existing house. This book has a lot of great information about loads that can be carried, cement requirements, and very basic how to. It isn't like How to books with step by step info. I have many of those kind of books. This one has added a lot more understanding of larger construction projects.
