Building & Zoning Director Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Digital Codes Premium empowers me to protect my community" March 31, 2023 5.0 I use Digital Codes Premium all the time so that I have quick, reliable, and thorough access to the codes. This empowers me to make better decisions about how to protect the community I serve. It's well worth the investment. Pros Digital Codes Premium connects me to the relevant code sections I need quickly and reliably. Using the search function or the navigation tools or the index, I can find the provisions of the code I need to make a decision. And I have great confidence that I've used the code thoroughly and appropriately. Cons Thorough understanding of any requirement of the codes requires context, both to related present codes, or the history of code development. Making access to that context easier would facilitate the user answering a difficult question about why those provisions are part of the codes. Review Source DN Daniel N. VP- Fire, Accessibility, Code Compliance Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Needs a refresh and isn't "Premium"" October 2, 2023 4.0 We have a 3-year contract for 50 concurrent users. Several of my staff resort to free versions of other programs (or bought it out-of-pocket) since it is more linked to code and commentary, searching works better, etc. The unique feature of linking to code development is only useful for a small portion of staff. We will do another search and evaluation prior to updating our contract in April 2024. Pros Everything we purchased is there, direct connection to code changes Cons The ads on the opening page instead of what I need. We bought Premium with the promise that it would be expanding (including NFPA), but find ourselves being locked out of newer documents (like ASHRAE) because we don't have the "new Premium". No connections between the codes, commentaries, and standards like other programs. User interface is dated. Constantly click on a SECTION and get linked to a CHAPTER. Alternatives considered [UpCodes](https://www.capterra.com/p/169409/UpCodes/) Reason for choosing ICC Digital Codes Premium Link to ICC.

Pros I have been using ICC Digital Codes Premium for nearly an year now. I like how it improves code maintenance and enforcement. Cons It has deficiencies in tutorials availability on the web. Review Source JN Jody N. Fire Safety Program Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Premimum codes enable efficiency" May 2, 2023 5.0 aside from field access the experience was positive. Pros I like that the premium codes give me access to current code, as well as legacy code and some commentary information for explainations. Cons an App would be nice to download on electronic devices like Phones and tablets to make them more portable and not having to access a website with wifi Review Source JS John S. Director of Quality Control and Staff Development Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ease to do Code Analysis for every project." May 3, 2023 5.0 Pros The search of the states codes are very useful and easy to manage. We do a lot of projects throughout the country and it is the best starting point for every project. The mobile app come handy in meetings and is also very easy to use. This is my first source when I begin my reviews on every project. Cons Some of the codes for updates to States are not up to date. It takes them time to get updated, so additional search of the code is required like going to the States web page and searching which take a lot more time. This is the only flaw with the site and would be awesome if all the codes were current. Review Source CH Cruz H. Chief Building Official Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ICC Digital Review" May 3, 2023 5.0 I am able to research all codes, ability to have study guides for staff on preparation for exams. Pros The ability to research all the code you will need to perform your daily job. Have access to all code books and study guides for staff. Cons I have no cons. at first signing up was a problem with my licenses for my staff, but a quick call in to support and it was taken care of. Review Source DM Daniel M. Building Inspector - Existing Structures Government Relations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Extremely useful." May 3, 2023 5.0 It has been incredibly helpful. I like to debate with my coworkers about the technicalities in of the code and being able to see the code AND the comments to the code are extremely helpful in having a better understanding of everything that we are looking at. Between that and seeing what other states code for is extremely helpful when I am thinking of joining committees within my own state to begin helping with the codes. Pros It's access to multiple years. I deal with existing structures so I need to be able to see what the code looked like for when I place was built. This allows me to do that. Cons More past dates: Other side of the coin from the pro is this. I need to be able to go back and check code. This is fantastic with the backdating, but I could always use editions even further back than what is archived in this product.

Cons Searchability sucks. The interface is cumbersome. Review Source aP adam P. Senior fire protection engineer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "very slow" May 2, 2023 3.0 Pros I like that it is electronic access and not a hard copy book. Cons I hate that this is not a pdf. I need a single document to use search functions on all chapters. my bill rate is $200 an hour and minutes matter to the client and to my profit margin.

Review Source mL mark L. dir Wireless Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "To difficult" May 2, 2023 1.0 Pros I signed up as I am building a home. Your web site is painful. I spent the money and bought the print version Cons see above read all of it Reason for choosing ICC Digital Codes Premium It was faster to get but then I ordered the print version when the web based was too difficult to use Review Source ZC Zachary C. Fire inspector Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very useful" May 2, 2023 5.0 My overall experience is positive, I enjoy using the program. Pros How easy it is to navigate and use, much better than the free version. Cons The price was a little steep, but it was worth it in the end. Review Source DC DeAubrey C.

Pros The real time availability through the use of the app! Cons Again I like the availability of the app Review Source RE Russell E. Revit Technician Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent resource for the field engineer." May 2, 2023 5.0 Knowing what I am able to design in certain cases. Having the commentary version ahs helped me to win more than a few arguments over code intepretation. Pros Being able to look up individual sections and printing them as needed have been impactful. Finding code on my phone or tablet on the fly has proven invaluable and worth the price alone. Cons It would be nice if there was a downloadable version of the code for when I may not be connected to the internet. Also, having a login last 30 days would be helpful with a reminder to re-log in . I have been caught flat footed because the site wanted me to login and I didn't have my passwords with me. Review Source JS Joseph S. Senior Building Official Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Biggest bang for your money" March 30, 2023 5.0 Good experience, just do not move in the direction that NFPA did with their product line. Pros Searching and referencing code sections. Also th ability to toggle between the commentary and code language for ease of viewing and reading. Cons It does not go to the specific section number that is selected from te bookmark section. Such as select section 1004.2 of the IBC it brings you to 1004 Review Source BP Bill P. Deputy Building Official Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "All Access...Little Fee" February 17, 2023 5.0 Having a code that you can copy and paste references into emails is super beneficial and a real improvement over a physical book where you need to transcribe code references. Pros Set up was easy and only took a few minutes. You don't need licenses for every inspector since they can be used concurrently. Once you get to the code book you want, everything works like you would expect. The best feature is you have access to everything, commentary, study guides, older code editions, etc. Working for a local government, it is hard enough getting them to pay for the codebooks, much less all of the other books that are included in the complete library. It also helps for budgeting, now you just have a subscription to pay. Cons The feature where you send code sections to people will sometimes format the section in a weird way. Reason for choosing ICC Digital Codes Premium Price, budgeting and access to the complete library. Review Source Response from International Code Council March 7, 2023 Bill-We really appreciate your feedback! It is great to hear that you are utilizing the copy and paste feature. Our goal is to provide convenience to our customers by continuing to add the latest codes and standards to ICC Digital Codes Premium. CR Chris R. Principal Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Code Access Simplified" May 2, 2023 5.0 Fantastic capabilities and support. Beats a collection of hard copy! Pros Access to multiple code editions applicable across the country where jurisdictions have their bespoke code language based on I-Codes. Cons I haven't found a down side. I am able to navigate and access exactly what I need from anywhere.
