This is great "refresher" material on the job-site. It is VERY short on length. Sixteen sheets of plastically laminated paper (spill-proof) that increase in size...basically they are self-tabbed by the major topic areas. So the first page is about half the physical length of the last page (which is about legal pad size). I found the material reasonable for being condensed in such a small amount of space, but nearly impossible to "understand" a code just from the pamphlet alone. It doesn't make for easy reading unless you know already what you're looking for and its so short that even if you did, you might just miss it.

This book is NOT useful for anyone taking there Class "A" Contractor Test with PSI. It is more useful for commercial applications.

Easy to use, very practical stuff. Gets right to the heart of the matter. I am a professional and use the Code Check books often.

Great to have on hand when you need to reference certain building codes and don't want to search through the actual code book. Great for field use. Durable and tough. Well done.

For my purposes, this book wasn't as handy of a reference as I thought it would be. It has lots of pictures and is flashy, but I ended up using books about framing and foundations to really get enough information to be useful in building a shed.

Excellent knowledge base for the DIY and pro. This series of books will show you everything you need to know to do it right the first time and pass those crucial inspections.

Although the graphics seem simplistic at first glance, they make the information easy to grasp. I had several "ah-ha, I get it" moments when browsing for information. I actually enjoyed looking at this code reference. That's a first!

Anyone building or taking a builders test should have a copy.
