Finally, there's a common-sense index that helps you quickly and easily find the section you're looking for in the UBC. It lists topics under the names builders actually use in construction. Best of all, it gives the full section number and the actual page in the UBC where you'll find it. If you need to know the requirements for windows in exit access corridor walls, just look under Windows. You'll find the requirements you need are in Section 1004.3.4.3.2.2 in the UBC - on page 115. This practical index was written by a former builder and building inspector who knows the UBC from both perspectives. If you hate to spend valuable time hunting through pages of fine print for the information you need, this is the book for you. Thanks for visiting RSF Products.

Don't let your jobs be held up by not passing code inspections the first time. Smooth sign-off is the goal, but to make that happen on the job site you need to understand the latest editions of the International Building Code and the International Residential Code. Understanding what the international codes require can be a real challenge. This new, completely revised Contractor's Guide to the Building Code cuts through the legalese of the code books. It explains the important requirements for residential and light commercial structures in plain, simple English so you can get it right the first time. New in the edition are: 1. Completely updated instructions on how to follow the 2006 IRC and IBC. 2. A chapter on electrical requirements for one- and two-family dwellings. 3. Numerous website URLs where you can find additional information on specialized subjects. 4. A CD-ROM with all the material in the book and a handy quick look-up feature. This book spells out code requirements for approved materials, construction methods and acceptable alternatives for: electrical, excavation, finishing, foundations, framing, glazing, insulation, masonry and concrete, plumbing &amp; HVAC, remodeling, roofing, siding, site preparation, stairs, venting. With this book you'll learn where exceptions are likely to be granted, where they won't, and how to negotiate a compromise that both you and the inspector can live with. If you do business in cities or counties that follow the International Building Code or the International Residential Code, this reference belongs on your desk.
