"A member of the International Code Family."

For a truly solid working knowledge of the 2012 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), you need a resource that will explain the technical requirements, and then explore how those requirements can be applied to everyday, on-the-job situations. The 2012 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE COMMENTARY does just that. The book's approach is simple, yet highly effective: provide users with the full text and illustrations of the code itself, and close each section with commentaries on its practical implications. Coverage also includes a discussion of rationale for the various provisions, as well as the potential consequences for not adhering to them. Developed by the highly-regarded International Code Council, the book aims to offer an enhanced understanding of the 2012 IPMC, making it a must-have for code officials, engineers, architects, inspectors, plan examiners, contractors, and anyone seeking proficiency in the code.
