### "Tim Fiske's Review"

October 3, 2023

5.0

Overall I am happy with the transition to digital codes and I am sure the product will continue to get better.

Pros

Overall the product is easy to use and is very nice to be able to quickly click around and get the code section needed without pulling out multiple books and digging for the answer. There is no more fuss with adding in errata pages and mid-code cycle amendments.

Cons

I feel the search function for finding specific books can be hard to navigate, you will type in 2019 California Building Code and then it will bring up other items or links that are not the book itself.

### "Digital Codes Premium is better than paper "

February 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

Digital is always available - in office or field. It's easy to search terms. I love that I can access the California codes, plus the International codes. And have all the "significant changes" and other value-added documents. And to dig deeper, I love that I can easily access the hearings and understand the reasons for any code changes. And I appreciate having all of the previous years codes for cross referencing. It's so helpful to have a huge library at my fingertips. Plus, using concurrent access allows our staff to save a lot of money compared to the hard copies, with no blue page updates required.

Cons

Switch from tactile paper copies to digital is not everyone's favorite method for accessing codes. It was not a popular choice for those that like flipping pages. Like any change, it takes a while to get confortable with the new format. It also took a little time to figure out navigation.

### "Whyt I love ICC's premium subscription"

May 2, 2023

5.0

It is the best tool for architects or anyone who is in the building industry. Just having a peace of mind knowing that we have it in case we need to get a quick answer. The ability to save and share information with the team is a breeze.

Pros

It is the ease of use for a quick code search and references to share with the design team.

Cons

I don't really have any negative comment about this product. I have absolutely happy and satisfied with it.

### "I don't like the digital codes"

May 2, 2023

4.0

I definitely Prefer the old system, where I could download the codes and have a copy on my desktop, ready for immediate access on My schedule, with or without the internet. I really wish you would go back, or at least offer the old download system as an option. Somewhat frustrating . . . I've been an ICC member for a long time, and I cannot describe myself now as a happy customer. Really a shame.

Pros

I'm not crazy about it - I preferred downloading and having a local copy on my system

Cons

I don't like being Limited to having to have access to the internet - today we lost the internet for 3 + hours

### "Codes and continuing education. "

March 19, 2026

4.0

I use It during breaks and lunch time to gain CE units. Theres a good verity of courses that explore a wide range of topics.

Pros

It's a great way to access to good continuing education and explore some good refresher courses on subjects that I'm not involved in any longer.

Cons

I like most everything especially the study guides, I'd like to see more NEC related material covering commercial installations.

### "Great for code reviews "

May 2, 2023

5.0

The printed versions are always in the office but this is provides information at my fingertips anytime, anywhere.

Pros

I like that I can search, then cut and paste a section onto another document

Cons

The search feature could be better. It sometimes searches areas outside of the area where I am searching.

Reason for choosing ICC Digital Codes Premium

I did not know about the others

### "The Code World at your fingertips"

May 2, 2023

5.0

I can copy code sections and send them electronically when having discussions with developers, contractors, or homeowners. Also, I can have access to everything in the field with just an I-pad and not have to lug all of the codes around.

Pros

The fact that it has every item ever created by ICC. Not just codes, but commentaries, study guides, etc.

Cons

The only drawback is I wish I could have had it sooner.

### "Get DCP-Complete! "

February 22, 2023

5.0

Works very well for plan review staff. They adapted well to the digital world and it supports our move a few years ago to 100% digital plan review. They are more efficient and have access to additional codes than ever before.

Pros

Ease of use. Can open multiple codes at the same time. Love the tools: find function, highlighting, notes.

Cons

Can be cumbersome to find the exact code you are looking for if not on your "list" of commonly used codes.

### "I won't go back to paper but it should be much better."

May 10, 2023

2.0

Pros

It is the code in a digital format, so it is always correct and up to date.

Cons

The interface is slow and clunky to navigate. I found it difficult search and access the code provisions quickly. There are no cross references to other code sections or definitions. In general I find it slow to navigate such that it is at best equivalent to hardcopy codes. This product does not fully leverage the available technology to provide a superior experience as it should.

### "ICC Digital Codes Premium"

May 3, 2023

4.0

The access to the volume of reference materials is important for me, as someone working in code compliance.

Pros

ICC Digital Codes Premium provides access to a library of valuable technical materials to guide compliance review. As a member of an ICC working group, having access to code interpretations is highly valuable. The premium subscription allows me to access reference materials that provide clarification in order to guide my compliance work.

Cons

I would like to have the ability to download a marked up PDF of reference materials, so that I have my own notes that are available for my use offline. Additionally, I would like the search function to be better in terms of accuracy. A simple search yields a dozen results, including older versions of reference materials.

I don't pass my certification without it.

Pros

Can reference or search for pretty much anything across the codes.

Cost - can add up. Code books aren't cheap and neither is the subscription.

Pros

Links to code amendments. that is really it

Cons

The number of titles available is misleading. Yes there are lots of titles available but many are not relevant or useful. Missing are many reference standards such as NFPA, ASCE etc...
