Recommended Reading

In addition to the text books provided by SAVA, the below are my top 6 recommended books. I highly rate them all and think they enormously helped develop my skill set.


(I haven't got any payment etc from the authors.)

Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings

Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings

Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings

A brilliant book that helps you understand all sorts of reasons for cracks and movement.

The 1930's House Manual

Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings

Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings

Another great book that explains (with lots of pictures) the history and defects of 1930s and 50s house. Expensive as its out of print. But I think worth it.

Surveying Buildings (Malcolm Hollis)

Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings

Surveying Buildings (Malcolm Hollis)

This is considered 'The go to book of surveying'. Out of print, hard to get hold of and as a result expensive.

The Victorian House Manual

Building Construction Handbook

Surveying Buildings (Malcolm Hollis)

In the same style as the 1930s book. I think its brilliant. Easy reading and extremely informative.

The Damp House

Building Construction Handbook

Building Construction Handbook

Easy to understand reasons for damp. I found it really helped demystify damp issues.

Building Construction Handbook

Building Construction Handbook

Building Construction Handbook

A turn to reference for construction and terminology. Filled full of diagrams to explain construction.
