The Ultimate Guide to Building Code,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Code Check: West: A Field Guide to Building a Safe House (Paperback)
I found out about the Code Check series from a local building inspector. I was in getting permits to do some major remodel work. I asked how I would know what they were looking for in an inspection. He told me "Buy Code Check. It's what we use."It presents the code in an easily read, flip chart format. The pages are laminated so you can take it out on the job and use it day in, day out for reference. This book doesn't explain why the code is the way it is! It does give a list of the most often needed code sections AND pictures as to how certain critical items should be done. For example: How should you ground a main service panel. How to properly add romex onto a knob and tube wiring system and many more. I found the entire series invaluable. The proof is in the results. The building inspectors loved my work and I breezed through most inspections.

Simply a checklist,
By Tom Bacon (Medford, Or United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Code Check: West: A Field Guide to Building a Safe House (Paperback)
I'd disagree with the description. This is not what most would call a book nor does it explain principles. Rather, this is a collection of field ready waterproof code-compliance checklists, bound together pages with pictures and minimal dialog. It doesn't explain principles, it describes commonly checked items. It's useful to remind you what you need to focus on. Would be an excellent field guide for someone reviewing code compliance, not very useful for a designer. FYI, I've got over 20 years in construction. It would also be useful to let a home-builder see what they need to learn!
