Hi Johann, I have replied to your email. Thanks for alerting us to this broken link. The publishers Penguin Random House changed their website and did not inform us. The link is now working fine, thanks again.

Hi, just checking if book covers nutec structures etc
- Janek – October 31, 2019
  
  Hi Ryan, Owner Building covers all the aspects of building including timber frame but not in fine detail. Nutec has an Agrement certificate from the SABS and so is quite legal to use. Regards, Janek
