A most extraordinary resource book on international building codes.

Great Resource

[Amanda]

Great reference guide to codes. This is specific to 2006 IBC (which when I was using it wasn't yet under enforcement in NY). I've also heard that it's a good study guide for the AREs.

[Gang Chen, Author of "Planting Design Illustrated"]

A great book!

Ching did a great job again! The line drawings clarified the codes and made it easy to understand.

[Licia]

Better explanations of international code and how to interpret it than my instructor in class last semester. Far better. Clear, simply organized, easy to use. I would not have survived without it.

[Jenny]
