I am gearing up to move forward and adopt new editions of the code.
Normally I buy my own books and mark them as "mine - not yours" so that I can take them with me when I get fired. But this year I thought I would give my department the opportunity to buy my books before getting a second job to pay for them. Below is a list of books that should serve any commercial plan reviewer very well. What would be another book that I am missing?


2018 IBC and significant changes combo $137.00

2018 IBC Turbo tabs $13.50

2015 IBC and turbo tab combo $114.00

Significant changes to the 2015 IBC $30.50

(because we are skipping the 2015 codes)

2018 International Existing Building Code $58.00

2018 IEBC turbo tabs $13.50

ASCE 7-16 (wind and snow loads) $216.00

ACI 318-14 (structural concrete) $160.00

Steel Construction Manual 15th edition $201.00

National Design Specifications for Wood Construction 2015 $135.00

ICC A117.1-2017 Accessible Buildings $38.00

Total Cost: $972.00

Thanks!

BayPoint, are there any torn pages, left over sticky notes, marked out codes you don't like or donut crumbs in between the pages?

I'll trade you a copy of "How to not get fired when your wife's pregnant two weeks before Christmas!" It's a best seller at our house and I have a limited signed copy! Sure to be a best seller on Amazon!

CDA, I love other illustrated books by Francis Ching and I forgot that a friend who works for Wiley Publishers recommended that to me. I added that to my list.
Thanks!

IRC? EMP?
 
Ouch! Well, other than (1) plan review, (2) truss calculations (Alpine software), and being there to support your pregnant wife,
What other skills and abilities are in your tool box?

The ability to listen to people that think they know everything, Since they have been doing it that way for thirty or forty years....
 
We receive our energy code books for free from our State Energy Department.
But I could use a newer version of the Gypsum Association Design Manual. 14th edition is what I have on the shelf now. But I am afraid that if I suggest that book, my office administrator will search for it online and tell me that www.usg.com provides that information for free.
 
One more must have:

“ Conarb’s Words of Wisdom “

Not sure if it is a short or long read????
 
I include NEC Analysis of Changes; i.e. we currently enforcing the 2011 but some contractors are using the 2017 for PV, EV charging stations, and generator installations. The latest information also provides clarification and intent.
