Boca National Building Code Compliance Manual

Download or read book BOCA, National Building Code Compliance Manual written by Scott Parish and published by McGraw-Hill Companies. This book was released on 1999 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architects, builders, and related design professionals are required to design any structure to the minimum requirements set by applicable codes. Failure to design to code can mean expensive change orders during construction, delays, loss of client trust and respect, claims, and even litigation. This book reformats the BOCA National Building Code requirements into four distinct job stages--design, architectural documentation, structural documentation, and specifications--all of which are addressed in checklists to be used on-site for quality control. This will be a valuable aid in "decoding" the unwieldy provisions of the NBC as it relates to individual projects at different stages.
