The Code Check Series are condensed guides to the most commonly cited code violations encountered by building inspectors, contractors, do-it-yourselfers and homeowners. We have tried to emphasize the central safety principles that underlie building codes throughout the United States. Our hope is that you will find this web site a good basic resource for your building project.
Since 1995, with over 900,000 copies sold, Code Check is the leader in deciphering the voluminous, complex and sometimes tedious world of codes, or as we say,"Code Check - Your key to the codes."

 Code Check 5th Edition Building Section for California - Downloadable Addendum
The building section of Code Check 5th Edition is based on the 2006 IRC and the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC). California adopted the 2007 CBC, which is based on the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) with ammendments.
This free PDF download covers every line of code from Code Check 5th Edition's Building Section, plus the code changes from the 2001 CBC, and makes it applicable for California.
If you live or work in California, this is absolutely essential!.
