Description: Cracking the Codes makes codes and standards accessible by promoting a sound understanding of regulatory issues - without getting caught up in the minutiae. The book works the way projects do, moving through each stage of the planning process to identify and consolidate the basic regulatory requirements that must be addressed at every step along the way.

It equips readers not only to recognize issues that call for regulatory research and to work effectively with appropriate consultants, but also to suggest strategic directions that are compatible with regulatory requirements and to make informed decisions in response to consultants' advice.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 334) and index.
