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® (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.

The book contains the authors’ analyses and illustrations of the intent and potential interpretations of the building construction provisions of the 2009 International Residential Code® (IRC) for the design of one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses. The illustrations and examples are general in nature and not intended to apply to any specific project without a detailed analysis of the unique nature of the project. As with any code document, the IRC is subject to interpretation by the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for their application to a specific project. Designers should consult the local Building Official early in project design if there are questions or concerns about the meaning or application of code sections in relation to specific design projects.

The interpretations and illustrations in the book are those of the authors. The authors do not represent that the illustrations, analyses, or interpretations in this book are definitive. They are not intended to take the place of detailed code analyses of a project, the exercise of professional judgment by the reader, or interpretive application of the code to any project by permitting authorities. While this publication is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information regarding the subject matter covered, it is sold with the understanding that neither the publisher nor the authors are engaged in rendering professional services. If professional advice or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional person should be sought.

The authors and John Wiley & Sons would like to thank Peter Kulczyk of the International Code Council for his thorough review of the manuscript and illustrations in this book. This review does reflect in any way the official position of the International Code Council.
