• This forum (the BCDG) is priceless. I like hearing all the different opinions. Because from those, I can make more informed decisions.

• Holy Cow! Great crowd. I've got a couple of more questions ready to post, can't wait for the response. What a great forum, I've enjoyed every part of it. Thanks

• BRAVO! You've done it yet again!!!!
  New site looks great, sharper, clearer, and quite attractive. I enjoy being able to access this site, and using it, and participating in it.
  Truly, Imad, you are providing a needed, valuable and incredibly helpful and informative service. Great Kudos to You!! Keep up the good work.

• This has the possibility of being "THE" industry source for building code data! THE PLACE to ask building code questions. David L Lewis, Clayco Construction.
  
  
• It was great to see such positive responses about the Building Codes web site (BCDG). In my work as an ADA consultant, I find the give and take of the discussions to be very, very useful.

• Imad,
  I am really impressed by the quality of responses to the queries. As a professional engineer and an expert witness in this area for over 40 years, I have rarely seen a service that gives real advice. Best building code questions and answers.Period! Keep up the good work.

• Just wanted to let you know that I really like this method of presenting the discussion on a particular code question (showing the questions and then all of the comments and opinions in one e-mail). Going to your website and looking at all of the items and other discussions is great also but this method saves me time. I can also print out the e-mail and have all of the individual comments and opinions in one concise format. Thanks and keep up the good work!

• I find the group to be professional and responsive. No doubt the structure of it helps. Over the months I have visited several regarding the code. The two AIA sites have not been useful and I have stopped using them. I use the ICBO one dedicated to the IBC but there is not much going on there. I gave up on the sprinkler site too. Anyway, congratulations and keep up the good work.

• I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have a code forum where you can ask questions, get answers, and discuss these issues.  Thank you for this forum!

• This forum is by far the best overall building code related forum on the net dealing with national (and international) code enforcement topics. I have visited a number of other forums over the past few years and none of them compares to this one. I think Imad deserves a lot of credit!

• I think the BCDG is the best site going! ICBO gives great support but neither BOCA or SBCCI seem to be supportive. Idea is to get ICBO, BOCA & SBCCI to use this site as the point to answer questions. ICBO has good site but SBCCI & BOCA have poor chat sites and are hard to access. With the coming of IBC & IRC, a central site like this one is needed. Keep up the good work!

• I do enjoy this discussion group rather than some of the other "same old dry" code quotes without any explanations. Thanks.
