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

the book's usefulness, making this an ideal tool for anyone
in or entering the field of design, construction, or
inspection of commercial buildings.
