Quick Navigation

Overview

The fourth Canadian edition of Vogt/Nauth’s Carpentry textbook is designed for college students enrolled in both apprenticeship and diploma programs. Referring to the National Building Code of Canada, this product will prepare students to pass the Certificate of Qualification Exam (Red Seal Exam) and for a career as a professionally certified carpenter. The core of the carpentry trade as practised in Canada is covered in four comprehensive sections: Tools and Materials, Building Construction, Exterior Finish, and Interior Finish. Each of these sections features step-by-step procedures for all stages of construction, important safety precautions, tips of the trade, and a look at anticipated future trends in the construction industry. The engaging design and layout throughout this text are accompanied by a focus on necessary soft skills and features that build critical thinking skills, including “What’s Wrong with This Picture” and “Deconstruct This” activities. There is also a MindTap available with this text.

  • Full-colour design brings the jobsite to life – integrating photo-realistic drawings drawn to scale and on-the-job photos from construction projects across Canada and the United States.
  • Measurements in the text are recorded in both SI (metric) and imperial. Some conversions are approximate, such as 4 feet (1.2 m), whereas others are exact, especially in building code references, such as 7 7/8 inches (200 mm) for the maximum rise for a set of stairs to a dwelling unit.
  • Safety information retains its prominence in the text, including a section titled ”Safety at the Worksite” in the Introduction, unit-opening Safety Reminders to alert students to potentially dangerous situations on the job, and Cautions to help prevent accidents when working with various tools of the trade.
  • A section in the introduction covers the critical soft skills required of successful and proficient carpenters. Coverage of important organizations, including the Carpenters’ Union and Skills Canada, helps students keep up to date on industry expectations.
  • A Success Story opens each of the four sections, highlighting a successful account of an individual working on carpentry jobs in different regions of the country, and providing insight into the industry.
  • Structural and health and safety issues are aligned to the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC), 2020 edition.
  • This edition has an extensive number of improvements and added content to assist students in their learning.
