details available to all.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the past I have spent hours searching for details, trying to find an example of a detail so that I can understand the construction a bit better. When I was at university I was really frustrated with how difficult it was to improve my construction knowledge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Working in practice I would find myself in a similar situation. I knew what I wanted to draw, but sometimes couldn’t find the precedents or examples that would help me come up with a suitable solution. A massive amount of time is spent looking back at previous details, or researching online etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Detail Library presents a quick, go to resource to save time, and provide a selection of precedent details to work from.
