Building Trades Dictionary
A Comprehensive Dictionary
for
Construction Trades Workers
4th Edition
By Leonard P. Toenjes
Building Trades Dictionary is a comprehensive reference for
trades workers. Building trades, basic engineering, and
architectural terms are presented in a highly illustrated, concise
format. Emphasis is placed on construction tools and equipment,
materials, and processes. Similar to a standard dictionary, terms
are defined, synonyms are identified, and illustrations are
provided. Over 1500 terms have been added to this edition and
existing terms have been revised to reflect changes in the industry.
The CD-ROM contains a Custom Dictionary for Microsoft® Products
that adds building trades terms to the existing Microsoft®
dictionary for use in spell check and grammar check features within
Microsoft® applications. The Building Trades Dictionary, Electronic
Edition, allows the user to search or browse a database of the
Building Trades Dictionary in an electronic format.
The new software application has a searchable database of all
American Tech Building Trade terms, an alphabetical display of
terms, and a mini pop-up application window for searching the
database of terms without running the full application.
The Contractor's Terms section includes terms that apply to
estimating, bidding, labor relations, labor law, building codes, and
bonding and licensing.
