The Real Goods Independent Builder: Designing and Building a House Your Own Way (Real Goods Independent Living Book)by Sam Clark
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This is a comprehensive manual of design and building methods for owner-builders as well as professional builders and their clients. In addition to presenting specific building techniques, the book explains the design principles and planning processes that underlie all good building, so that readers can develop their own exceptional designs, independently.
The Real Goods Independent Builder develops subjects not covered thoroughly in other books, but critical to success:
Review:"Clark takes a pragmatic approach, combining the best new technologies with more traditional, time-tested methods (the main criteria being whether the construction is cost-effective and can stand the test of time). This tome is chock-full of information [for] even the most ardent do-it-yourselfer." Library Journal Review:"I am planning to build an owner-built house next summer, and have read upwards of 50 books on the subject. The Independent Builder is by far the best. It shared wisdom in addition to information." Mark Harrison of Jaffrey, New Hampshire Synopsis:Sam Clark's admired new book is the most complete and easy-to-use housebuilding handbook available anywhere. Revised and expanded to reflect changes in the building industry and to address the needs of 1990s builders, this comprehensive manual of design, planning, and building methods provides readers with the tools to build a home that will be beautiful and comfortable long into the new century. Includes invaluable information on contracts, accessibility and ergonomics. About the AuthorSam Clark is a builder who has worked with owner-builders since the late 1960's.

He is also the author of The Motion-Minded Kitchen, and co-author (with Margaret Wylde and Adrian Baron-Robbins) of Building For a Lifetime.
