An excellent supplement to the IBC Code
14 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
The graphic diagrams are a real help in trying to visualize issues like egress. I refer my architecture school students to this book frequently when they need to get a quick understanding of life safety or accessibility issues related to their designs. This book is a real help for almost any architect whether they are at the beginning of their career or seasoned professionals looking for a refresher.

Architects Code Resource
2 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This reference book is a must have for any architect who needs further clarification on the international building code. The author presents the examples graphically which makes the code easier to interpret. I highly recommend the handbook to junior designers and graduates who have recently entered the architectural and construction industry as well as the seasoned professional since building codes are a dynamic document. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to work with Steve on several code interpretations in California. Again, I recommend this book to anyone who is preparing drawings for building permit or just wants to educate themselves better about life, safety and welfare issues in construction.
