“Building Codes 101 was a game changer for me. I was struggling to fully understand certain code concepts just from reading books but this course made everything click. The Young Archtitect team explained every concept clearly and in depth even when I was wrong. That level of clarity and support made all the difference and helped me earn an NCARB pass.”

“Building codes are part of all the technical exams, and there are lots of differenct factors to consider, but you don't have to memorize it all. This course has great videos that walk through practice problems and references the relevant sections and charts, so what you see on the exam feels familiar.”

“I’ve always struggled with the International Building Code (IBC). Reviewing it on my own — even with Ching’s Building Codes Illustrated — never got me to a place where I felt comfortable navigating it independently. This course changed that. It provides an overview of the code and, more importantly, helped me understand how the different sections connect to each other. That high-level understanding made it much easier to go back to the IBC and Ching’s Building Codes Illustrated and dig in with more confidence and direction.”

“The biggest game-changer for me in this course was how it simplified the IBC and gave me a strong base understanding before moving on to PA and the other technical exams. It made understanding code so much clearer, and now I feel more confident applying code knowledge to exam questions and real projects.”
