The issue you’ll have is that building code is hella difficult to just read. It’s not written as a guide per se, it’s written reactively. Inspectors agree hired to be nitpicks, and the code is their list of nits to pick. They kinda get paid by the nit, and over time, as they find new nits, it all gets shoehorned into a big nit list, and trying to read it is hard because you’re just kinda reading a giant laundry list of that shit.
The first couple pages are also rather likely to tell you that you don’t actually need to follow it. That’s not the actual reality, but it seems common for code to say that…
Hm, didn’t actually know they get paid by the hour and nits… yeah, that does make things more difficult…
I know a few local construction workers, one of them has his own small construction business, I’ll ask for dos and don’ts from him, plus he knows most of the inspectors, I think he can be of help… maybe even bring him on site 😁.
It’s been my experience that beer works better ;)

Thanks for the tip 😉 😁.
