Even the most experienced builder cannot possibly remember all the standards and statistics of construction and remodeling, but this guide spells it all out in tabular information and detailed illustrations. The material on building, plumbing and HVAC is based on the 2006 International Residential Code, the electrical section is based on the National Electrical Code and other information comes from the Uniform Codes used in many parts of the US. The format is particularly useful on the job site, and the authors have clearly marked recent changes for quick reference. Although this is designed for professional inspectors, designers, reviewers and contractors, this would work well as a classroom reference or as a guide to skilled do-it-yourselfers.
