California Accessibility Decoded: An Inspection Guide to the California Building Code, CBC Chapter 11B, and Title 24 Accessibility

By Evelyn Carter

California Accessibility Decoded is a professional, inspection-oriented reference for understanding and applying accessibility requirements under the California Building Code.

This book is written for architects, contractors, inspectors, plan reviewers, CASp professionals, and California business owners who need a clear, practical interpretation of CBC Title 24, Part 2, Chapter 11B, aligned with the 2022/2024 California Building Code cycle.
