A Manual of Construction Documentation: An Illustrated Guide to Preparing Construction Drawings > Customer Review #1:
Included in my course syllabus

I have been teaching construction documents to interior designers at Parsons School of Design for the past three years. The Wiggins Book is one of the two prime texts included in my course bibliography. The sheet by sheet instruction are very clear and show the process of putting together a set of drawings. I dont always follow the same standards as Wiggins, but its the best thats out there. As previously commented, not recommended for residential or specialty interiors projects. Very good reference for general commercial construction documents.

Good, But Not for Residential Projects or Beginners

I was looking for an introductory book to explain how to prepare construction drawings, and the title seemed like it might do the job. However, this book is ENTIRELY dedicated to commercial buildings and the target seems to be intermediate users. There is very little useful information for residential Projects or Beginners.

The book was done well however, and I wish the author would make a similar book for residential work and revise the title or taglines these books.
