Hey everybody,

I'm looking to get in a bit more practice solving problems calculating allowable building size, height, and area using FAR, property setbacks, construction types, etc. Does anybody know of good material with exam questions on these topics? I feel buried in tables reading Codes Illustrated, Studio Companion and the like, but would feel more confident answering some real problems.

Thanks in advance!

  I found these two PDFs very helpful for allowable area and height (IBC 2015 Chapter 5)

  Hi

   

  I have found the book "The Architect's study companion" to be very helpful and easy to understand. I just got it and it has some very good samples and it is easy to read.

  I hope it is of good help
