This book is an essential reference for any builder, remodelers and inspector in the state of CaliforniaCalifornia adopts a new suite of codes every three years, but the cycle which would normally have taken place in 2004 was postponed except for the 2004 Electrical Code. As a result, the 2007 California codes are the first since the 2001 edition. California amends each of these codes and publishes them as a suite of codes collectively known as Title 24. The new codes took effect on January 1, 2008, and are expected to have a 3-year life. The energy code is on a slightly different cycle. The 2005 California Energy Code became part of the 2007 California Codes, and a new energy code will come out before the next cycle of the other codes.Code Check Fifth Edition for California is a field guide that is specific to California and the time period of 2008 through 2010. We have emphasized the significant changes, and these are also summarized on the final two pages of the book. This book is highly condensed; it does not address accessibility issues. It is limited to R-3 occupancies (one- & two-family dwellings & townhouses), and to the interior of R-2 occupancies (timeshares, apartments, & condos). The building section of this book deals with conventional framing. In Seismic Design Category D such framing is limited to two stories for one- & two-family dwellings and to single-story townhouses and other structures. Buildings that are beyond those limits require an engineer's concurrence, as is common with most California house plans. For builders, remodelers, and inspectors in the state of California, here are the most up-to-date changes in the building code, which took affect on January 1, 2008. In clear, straightforward language, reinforced by useful illustrations, this valuable manual gives you everything you need to meet California's strict code requirements. So you can make sure every detail is right the first time -- to save time and money on every job.With durable spiral binding and laminated pages, this user-friendly flip chart is up to the rigorous demands of any work site -- and all kinds of weather. 32pp. Features:
