Construction defects in homes cost millions of
dollars every year and place people's health and
lives at risk. Everybody's Building Code
empowers people to help them determine if they
and their contractors are are complying with the
International Residential Code. Everybody's
Building Code is for homeowners, contractors,
real estate agents, home inspectors and anybody
else who wants to understand the International
Residential Code without wading through the dry
and often confusing language of the code itself.

Everybody's Building Code states code requirements in direct, command oriented
statements and provides many examples, illustrations, and photographs that demonstrate
how to apply the code requirements. In cases where the code requirements may not reflect
current best practices, the book discusses some opinions on the subject and directs the
reader to other sources for more information. The book contains an extensive key word
index and a detailed Table of Contents to help readers find the code provisions they need.
