 Review of Building Codes Illus. 2009 by Ching et al
So far, so good ...is much easier to retain and understand than trying to read the International Building Code Book by itself.
 A solid reference for any college-level or professional builder's collection
Any college-level architecture or construction library will find the 2009 edition of Building Codes Illustrated a fine guide to the 2009 International Building Code and its concepts. Builders, engineers, interior designers and any industry professional will find this packs in an illustrated, simple coverage of the code to enhance an actual copy of the code itself. From exit-access design requirements to ducts and air transfer openings, the visual drawings provide outstanding interpretation and access of the code's real-world applications in a solid reference for any college-level or professional builder's collection.
An excellent supplement to the IBC Code
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.
 Building Codes Illustrated
Building codes Illustrated, while easy to comprehend, is an unnecessary "add-on" to any architectural library.
Better to own Architectural Graphic Standards and buy the Handbook of Universal Building codes as a supplement.
