Abstract
Comphrensive guide to the building code, designed specifically for residential and light commercial builders. This streamlined reference provides only those sections you need to meet building code requirements - and pass inspection in all parts of the United States. It is written in an accessble, practical style, the handbook takes the unique approach of addressing the common ground for the different codes and then explains how and why the various regions must modify certain aspects. The book features both customary and metric units, and covers the major codes - Standard Building codes (SBCCI), Uniform Building codes (UBC) and National Building codes (BOCA); fire and life safety provisions, including forms, tables, fire ratings, occupancy codes, and inspector checklists. All codes updates and amendments are also included.
