About this title

Synopsis:

Now you can gain access to the most up-to-date changes in the 2009 International Residential Code with the newly revised sixth edition of Code Check: An Illustrated Guide to Building a Safe House.

For builders, remodelers, home inspectors, and building inspectors, this essential reference delivers accurate information on current residential building codes for foundations, framing, plumbing, and wiring, as well as exterior and interior walls, fireplaces, and chimneys.

By highlighting the central safety principles found in U.S. building codes - in a user-friendly format - this valuable tool gives you all the facts you need to avoid common code violations. So you can get every job done right the first time - without expensive, time-consuming callbacks.

From the Author:

Help with Building Codes.
I have been a building inspector for eleven years. After ten years of writing the same corrections day in and day out, I started compiling some lists of the most common code violations from the UBC, UPC, UMC, NEC and CABO model codes. This book is designed to be used in the field by anyone involved in residential construction. The waterproof lamination makes this as much a tool as it is a book.
