Code Check Building for California

The 2007 California Building Code (CBC) is unique. Most states use the International Residential Code (IRC) as a model, with the exception of California which has a residential code based on the 2006 International Building Code. Users of the California Codes must wade through over 1,600 pages of material to find the residential provisions. Even then, Californians must purchase costly additional standards referenced (but not printed) in the California Codes. Fortunately, Code Check has created a guide that cuts to the heart of these issues. Code Check Building for California provides a quick-reference summary of the California Building Code, and includes a 4-page table that summarizes the changes and compares the new codes to the previous (2001) CBC. There are many significant changes in the new code, particularly in areas such as exiting, stairs, building setbacks, siding, and fire separation. Unique illustrations help to clarify these changes and bring you up to date. The significant portions of ASTM and ACI standards are summarized in Code Check, saving the expense of several hundred dollars worth of additional codes and standards. This book is an essential tool for contractors, design professionals, inspectors, and plan reviewers.
