“This book is a gold mine for code enforcement and property maintenance inspectors and administrators. The text is easily read and the consistency of the letters enhances the professionalism and limits the exposure of the department that uses them. Offering the letters in digital format makes their use that much easier…the text brings resolution to questions usually asked by inspectors.”

- Jeff Burton, Institute for Business and Home Safety

“The text will be very useful to any residential and/or commercial codes department...Even though the author was covering complicated legal issues, I found the text and the explanations to be clear and easy to follow and matched perfectly with the code sections they are related to. The introductory chapter is particularly helpful to a new inspector who may not have any prior field experience or whose jurisdiction is just adopting the ICC code. The Author has really simplified the task of the code official by providing an easy to understand legal model directly related to all aspects of due process and search and seizure law.”

- William H. Penn Jr., Metro Davidson Co., Nashville, TN

“The author’s approach is to be simple but explicit in detail for the new or seasoned fire inspector to interpret. There are numerous referenced documents, but most fail to provide adequate examples and none provide a CD with sample forms, letters and referenced documents. This is a great companion to the International Fire Code. The three greatest strengths of the textbook are ease of understanding, sample forms and letters, and explicit explanation for forms and letters and how to avoid pitfalls.”

- W.G. Shelton Jr., Executive Director at Virginia Department of Fire Programs

“The 2006 International Residential Code is essential for students pursuing a career in building inspection. This up-to-date code addresses the design and construction of one and two family dwellings. The code also enables students to pass the ICC Residential Building Inspector Exam.”

- Stephen R Stuart, Instructor, Ventura College

“[This book] will be very useful to those people who want an easy reference to determine major changes in the 2006 IRC®. It will also provide people who are not involved in the code change process the reason behind the code changes.”

- Stephen L. Thomas, CBO, President of Colorado Code Consulting, LLC

“…The author’s writing style is at a pace and level appropriate for the caliber of the individual who should be using this text and taking this exam. I found it easy to follow his examples and complete them [and] the practice test at the conclusion to be effective, fully supporting the entire text before me….”

- Richard L. Tarabula Jr., Journeyman Inside Wireman.

“I really appreciate the authors approach to presenting the material in blocks (sections). The material is presented concisely and easy to follow. The illustrations are very good. Overall, I feel the book has a lot of merit. I believe [Wayne Van Soelen] could put together the next ‘lineman’s bible’”.
