4Very handy.  Sep 29, 2007 By Terry M.
This booklet provides a fine checklist for reviewing your own designs or doing home inspections. This checklist is not intended to be a replacement for your building code books. You still need to have a firm understanding of the codes. Code Check does serve as good 'tickler' on thoses codes that you do not refer to regularly and helps make sure that you don't overlook something.

5Outstanding "cheat book"!  Jan 08, 2008 By Bruce Brocka
Are you a contractor or work in (or with) the trades? I rehab old houses and find this guide without peer. While not for the do-it-yourselfer (it's definitely not a how-to book, it strictly presents the salient aspects of the often confusing and opaque residential building codes), it's a quick reminder and update on codes applicable to electrical, plumbing, heating, and general construction. It covers mutltiple major codes. I've found the individual guides essential and this work combines them in a handy, fits in your portfolio size. Very useful for those who work in the trades, or deal with contractors, as I do.

If you work in residential construction work in some way, buy this book. Considering the price of the usual codebooks or even the books explaining the codes, this book is also a bargain.


5Indispensable  Mar 30, 2011 By ViaDale
I built my house 3 years ago and this book was indispensable! I passed every inspection with no dispute. This book made it through 7 months of construction living in a gang box and held up WELL. Great product.

I highly recommend this book!


5The most useful code information all at your fingertips  Feb 24, 2009 By Chip Breaker "jointer"
This series is probably the best--it lives in the job site bag...it is well-organized with good graphic organization, up-to-date, and a fairly comprehensive code reference; naturally, the content isn't completely exhaustive, but it does an excellent job of presenting the most useful code compliance information all in one convenient package.
