Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Howard Bozeman, AJT Associates, RA, CCS, CSI: "This publication is very timely. The International Building code will not be effective until it is adopted by states and municipalities throughout the country, which will happen over the next year. There are major changes, and building professionals will need to know what the code is all about. This book should be very successful."
