Prepare to pass the ICC exam.
December 28th, 2009Although home inspectors are not responsible to determine code compliance, many home inspectors enjoy being able to recognize code violations, especially on new-construction inspections. This compilation of residential, code-related questions educates the inspector by allowing the inspector to look up the answer to each question in the 2009 IRC (International Code Council’s 2009 International Residential Code for One-and Two Family Dwellings), then immediately check his/her answer against the correct answer.
No one is expected to memorize the 2009 IRC, which is why the ICC exams are open-book. This exam prep tool is best used with a copy of the 2009 IRC, although the 2006 IRC will work fine too. It is a good preparation tool for inspectors who are studying for the ICC Standard Building Contractor (B) Exam ID 615 and particularly suited for the Standard Residential Building Contractor (C) Exam ID 616. Some local communities have their own contractor licensing exam and this online tool is an excellent method of preparing for your local contractor exam.
