Charlotte's Construction Manual is not just for Habitat Charlotte! Yes, it is specific to the way we build here... but it was designed knowing that it can still be a valuable resource to Habitat affiliates across the country. Each chapter is available as its own book. So buy only the chapter(s) you really need. And don't forget, sometimes it is nice to have a specific chapter available to a specific crew - and that is helpful even if the houseleader has the complete manual. For example, let the Shed crew keep the Storage Shed manual with them in the back yard while your siding crew refers to the Siding manual or the complete manual.
We'd like to know what affiliates are using this book- it will us help us cater to you in future editions. So please, email me at acarter at habitatcharlotte.org and let me know how you are using it.

Though it took a better part of a year, the new manual is available! We hope you find it useful. Even if your affiliate doesn't build exactly like we do in Charlotte, you may find that portions of it are still helpful.
The black and white version does a nice job at a great price. The color version is the best, but is a lot pricier because 450 pages of color printing does not come cheap.
Thank you for supporting Habitat for Humanity,
Anna
