From the Preface
This book is your guide to getting your code questions answered with less stress. It is your ticket to simplifying the cryptic code that you work with on a daily basis. The code is large and can be complicated. I've translated the code into easy-to-use terms for people in the field. See the code as a real-world guide instead of some foreign language that only some people can begin to sift through. This is your chance.
How important is understanding the code? It is essential for professionals in the trade. Building without code compliance is an expensive mistake. Many good builders and contractors mean well and still stray from the code. This is often due to the code being difficult to understand and follow. Not anymore. This book will walk you through the code requirements chapter by chapter.
Laid out in the same basic sequence as the code book, this book can be used in conjunction with your code book. While this book is not a replacement for your code book, it is a strong enhancement to it. Use the books together as resources to make your job or your business more productive.
Thumb through the pages here. Notice the tip boxes. You will find that some key components of the code are highlighted in the tip boxes. Go ahead, take a peek. While you are at it, pick a few topics that you are either familiar with or con fused about, and look them up. See for yourself how easy this book makes it to put your mind at ease on code issues.
You might find another book that attempts to do what this one does, but if you are looking for one guide to the code that you can trust, this is it.
