You get a wide range of typical layouts and residential spaces, offices, conference rooms, and reception areas, in addition to details of bars, restaurants, and public toilets. This exciting new edition includes new international examples and metrification – and provides you with full coverage of healthcare spaces, educational spaces; home offices; videoconferencing spaces; green design; project forms and schedules. Two outstanding sections cover historic styles and woodworking. Review: Excellent book - Excellent book - a go to reference Review: Not worth the money - This is a major disappointment. The material in it is 99% imperial measurements i.e. feet and inches, and is very limited to a market outside of USA. The vast majority of the book consists of drawings and sections that the authors feel may be 'typical' or useful. I found them neither. These 'drawings' are also generally poor copies and seem very out of date i.e. pre CAD days! Pages 806 and 807 from Floor finishes for example, is hardly legible. The small amount of general information given in the book can be found freely on the internet, and as for some of the information given - do we really need to be given the formulae for calculating areas of squares and circles? (page 1657) This book has been a complete waste for me, and I find it difficult to give it even one star, especially given the price. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,438,110 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,193 in Professional Interior Design 12,471 in Encyclopaedias (Books) 44,075 in Medical & Healthcare Practitioners | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 236 Reviews | ## Images ![Time-Saver Standards for Interior Design and Space Planning, Second Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+q4tj+2gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by A***E on 7 April 2017* Excellent book - a go to reference ### ⭐ Not worth the money *by A***N on 27 July 2008* This is a major disappointment.

I’ve got few different ones before but they all has basic and limited information. I had this book years ago when I was in design school and was searching for it now that I started my own inter design business. It has ALL the information you need for both residential and commercial spaces. Especially if you are involved with remodeling or any kind of construction. It’s huge and heavy, silver bible, well worth the investment for serious designers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Time-Saver Standards for Interior Design and Space Planning, 2nd Edition - Human Dimension & Interior Space: A Source Book of Design Reference Standards - Space Planning Basics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/96019608-time-saver-standards-for-interior-design-and-space-planning-second](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/96019608-time-saver-standards-for-interior-design-and-space-planning-second) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
