The Code Check Series are condensed guides to the most commonly cited code violations encountered by building inspectors, contractors, do-it-yourselfers and homeowners. We have tried to emphasize the central safety principles that underlie building codes throughout the United States. Our hope is that you will find this web site a good basic resource for your building project.
Since 1995, with over 900,000 copies sold, Code Check is the leader in deciphering the voluminous, complex and sometimes tedious world of codes, or as we say,"Code Check - Your key to the codes."
