An easy-to-use illustrated guide to building codes for residential
structures
As the construction industry moves to a single set of international
building codes, architects and construction professionals need an
interpretive guide to understand how the building code affects the early
design of specific projects. This newest addition to Wiley's series of
focused guides familiarizes code users with the 2009 International
Residential Code(R) (IRC) as it applies to residential buildings. The
book provides architects, engineers, and other related building
professionals with an understanding of how the International Residential
Code was developed, and how it is likely to be interpreted when applied
to the design and construction of residential buildings.
- User-friendly visual format that makes finding the information you
need quick and easy
- The book's organization follows the 2009 International Residential
Code itself
- Nearly 900 illustrations, by architectural illustrator Steven Juroszek
in the style of noted illustrator and author Frank Ching, visualize and
explain the codes
- Text written by experienced experts who have been instrumental in
gaining acceptance for the new unified building code
This book is an essential companion to the IRC for both emerging
practitioners and experienced practitioners needing to understand the
new IRC.
