Building Code Basics: Building
Based on the 2009 International Building Code

Stephen A. Van Note

Technically accurate and easy to understand, this is the perfect resource for beginning inspectors.

For the first time, readers can gain a solid, working knowledge of critical building code applications without the text-heavy, complex, and sometimes abstract language that complicates many of the more traditional code related books that are available.

BUILDING CODE BASICS: BUILDING, BASED ON THE 2009 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE® is designed to tackle the basics of the IBC®, including its essential requirements and intent, while maintaining an organized, user-friendly, and practical approach.

It is one installment of Building Code Basics, a series dedicated to providing high-quality, technically accurate, simplified code books for readers who are unfamiliar with the underlying concepts of the I-Codes.

Coverage follows the general purpose of the building code to provide fire, life, and health safety for the occupants of a building. Code references are also included, and when paired with non-technical explanations, they provide added value to the book's usefulness, making this an ideal tool for anyone in or entering the field of design, construction, or inspection of commercial buildings.

Features:
  • Clearly illustrates correct code application with full-color diagrams and photographs.
  • Clarifies key terminology as it applies to the code with detailed glossary of code and construction terms.
  • Facilitates comprehension of code applications with detailed, real-world examples of methods for determining code compliance.
