Builders' Homes for Better Living deals with the business of building; materials and methods of structure; design concepts of the house; relationship of the house to the individual lot and landscaping; and community planning. Since the builder house will continue to be constructed and sold, the welfare of the community, and the nation as a whole, will be strongly affected by the manner in which this is done. This book therefore, is an invaluable source of information to all interested in an improving pattern of living - builders, architects, engineers, site planners, civic leaders, investment agencies and especially the individual buyer, who, for the first time, will have a basis for judging the over-all merits of his prospective purchase.Joseph Eichler, a truly progressive builder, whose untiring efforts have advanced greatly the concepts of todays development houses, this book is respectfully dedicated.
