This book consisted of gathering essential construction terms in english, and equivalent meanings in spanish from various sources, during one and a half decade, since 1999 when I started to translate english text books for spanish speaking profesionals and students of architecture and engineering. I had to reference many textbooks to more fully understand the meaning of a term and then to compose a concise yet accurate translation to spanish lenguage.
It covers new industry terms which have emerged due to changes in engineering and building technologies, materials, and terminology coined by people in forums, bloggs, software, manuals and technical reference documents.
The 3,163 terms have been organized in groups of 70 to 90 entries each, identified by the first and last word of the group; the "content" of the dictionary has 84 group "identifiers" that allow the reader to access directly to any group. At the end of each group there are three links to return to the spanish-english identifiers, to the english-spanish identifiers or to the “introduction” of the book. It makes this e-book "fully browseable".

In a time of globalization of communications and business, it is very important to interact with professionals and students of the same discipline in differente parts of the world; the hispanic market of hundreds of millions of participants (Spain in Europe and from Mexico to Argentina in America), can not longer be ignored. Be prepared for this challenge!
