The review analyses the language of the Manual for Building Designers and Constructors (2009). It identifies and scrutinizes mistakes of lexis, syntax, and style, since such mistakes are the most common in the publication analysed. A closer look to this manual was encouraged by the survey carried out in 2010 that interviewed students of the VGTU  Faculty of Construction and employees in the construction sector. The said survey results showed that the Manual for Building Designers and Constructors is one of the most popular publications both among the students of the Construction faculty and construction sector employees. The current review attempts to draw the attention of editors and scien-
tific authors to the necessity to comply with codification, since scientific literature written in the correct language, firstly, encourages pedagogues to abandon the practice of learning from one’s mistakes, and, secondly, it contributes to the formation of the skills of fluent and normative usage of language.
