With so many codes, it is applicable in almost all jurisdictions in the United States. Aided by several upgraded and new illustrations, this book helps to quickly find relevant code information. It explains several of the changes in the new codes, including those for building setbacks, energy conservation, stair construction, gas tubing, clothes dryer exhaust, GFCIs, AFCIs, wiring methods, and more.

 

It also includes the latest regulations for fire sprinklers that go into effect for all dwellings effective January 1, 2011. The book can be used as a reference, a field guide for inspections, and an educational tool.

Each version is a condensed guide to important code requirements and commonly cited code violations in the construction of single and two family dwellings. Emphasizes life safety issues at the heart of most building codes.

Codes are adopted at different times in different places around the country. New editions come out every three years and some states make extensive modifications to the model codes prior to adoption.

Because the actual code that is used in a particular area could vary, we include references to the two most commonly used codes for every item in the book. Significant code changes have been noted and are included in a summary on the inside back cover. This feature enables the book to be used in areas still using the previous code edition.

To determine the particular codes in effect in your area, contact your local building department before beginning your project.

Codes & Standards Referenced in Code Check includes cross-references to the 2009 UMC and UPC, as well as the 2008 NEC.
