This helpful CheckList has been developed to assist and guide the designer and plans examiner through the provisions of the 2009 International Residential Code (IRC), Chapters 1 through 11. The material is organized by subject to allow the user to quickly identify code requirements applicable to the project and have easy reference to the corresponding code text for further clarification. The 2009 IRC CheckList covers the code provisions related to the planning, design and construction of typical residential buildings including requirements for construction documents, structural design criteria, fire and life safety, foundations, framing, weather protection, chimneys and fireplaces, and energy efficiency. The CheckList is also a useful tool for the contractor, builder and inspector in the planning, construction and inspection processes.
