Part of a series of training videos based on the building provisions of the 2003 International Residential Code® for One- and Two-Family Dwellings. A study guide accompanies the video to help the viewer follow along and aid in the learning process.
In this program we will be discussing the sites and soils provisions of the IRC that are generally associated with structures built using conventional light-frame construction methods.
Also covered is identifying a five-step method for determining compliance with the code as it governs the site and soil conditions of the lot on which the dwelling is to be constructed.
* Identify the Basic Characteristics of the Types of Soils on the Building Site
* Determine When a Soil Investigation is Required and What Should Be Included in the Report to the Code Official.
* Identify the Location of the Building on a Plot Plan and Verify Its Location on the Site
* Verify Site Preparation and Grading
* Determine the Required Separation for Footings On or Adjacent to Both Ascending and Descending Slopes

In this program we will be discussing the provisions for the types of footings that are generally associated with structures built using conventional light-frame construction methods.
The International Residential Code provides minimum construction requirements to ensure that foundations are capable of accommodating all building loads and transmitting them to the soil. These requirements provide minimum provisions for the construction of foundations for crawlspaces, basements, and slab-on-ground foundations. Also covered are soil testing and site preparation; footing requirements for concrete, masonry, and wood foundations; wood, masonry, and concrete foundation walls; waterproofing and damp-proofing; and ventilation of underfloor space. The discussion that follows will provide an overview of the code requirements.
In this video are eleven areas of the code that apply to foundations.
* Materials or Methods of Construction for Footings
* Footing Size and Depth Requirements
* Frost Protection
* Soil Types and Conditions for the Support of Footings
* Continuous Footings and Seismic Reinforcing of Footings
* Stepped Footings
* Footings On or Adjacent to Slopes
* Concrete Footings
* Slabs-on-Grade
* Insulation of Slab Perimeters
* Ventilation of Basements and Crawl Spaces

The provisions within the IRC cover wood and steel floor framing, floor sheathing, and insulation requirements.
This video explains the IRC code provisions for floor joists by identifying a ten-point checklist for determining compliance or noncompliance of floor joists.
* Protection Against Decay and Termites
* Wood Floor Framing
* Joist Bearing, Lapping or Splicing
* Blocking and Other Lateral Support
* Cutting, Notching, and Boring Holes
* Openings

In this program we will be discussing the provisions for roofs and roof structures that are generally associated with structures built using conventional light-frame construction methods.
The provisions of the IRC address the design, materials, construction, and quality of roof assemblies, which include minimum provisions for weather protection, the type of roof coverings that can be used, and re-roofing. This video will provide an overview of those code requirements.
Most of the provisions we will be discussing are specific code sections related to roofs. However, in this video, we will discuss other code sections as they relate and apply to roofs.
This video identifies seven areas of the code to review when determining whether a roof system complies with the code. They include:
* Roof Covering Classification
* Roof Sheathing
* Roof Drainage
* Roof Covering Materials and Application
* Valley and Other Flashing
* Roof Insulation
* Attics: Access, Draft Stops and Ventilation

In this program we will be discussing what needs to be inspected during the foundation, framing, and insulation phases of construction as well as the final inspection for low-rise single-family dwellings.
As an inspector, your job is to make sure that what is shown on the plans and in the documentation has been properly installed in the field. For the purposes of this video we will assume that you have all of the documentation that you will need on site to perform the inspections.
Remember, the inspector is the last person to see the energy features before they are covered by sheetrock or siding. These inspections can have lasting impacts on the energy use of the building and the comfort of the occupants for years to come.

I would not recommend this video to anyone, all they really do is read from a code book and do not explain or show how to do something. Although they do show pictures, they are blocked by wording which they place in the video. You can not learn anything from these videos that you can not read in a code book which leaves a lot of grey areas and which do not explain or show you how to do something. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!
As a home inspector, I found the information useful. The pictures put images to the items that are listed in the IRC 2000 code book. Pictures make it easier to understand and also helped me remember it better. The one complaint I have is that the videos have very low sound levels. I had to finally play the DVDs on my computer at full volume, with headphones to be able to clearly hear what was being said.
