Customer Reviews
A Must Book for NCIDQ Preparation !!!!!
Well-summarized and easy to follow. The book covers almost all the information you need to pass NCIDQ test. There are 23 (or 24!?) chapters and it takes about 2 months to study the entire book. Every chapters starts with reviewing basics so that you do not have to go back here and there of your old textbooks from schools. Combined with 3-day classes for NCIDQ and 1-day class on building codes offered by ASID, I passed NCIDQ on fall, 1996. I did not studied anything-else. This is the right material to study. The shortest way to build up the knowleadge to pass the exam. Trust me !!!!!
best available study guide
this one's the best book to study for the NCIDQ. but they need to make an updated version. i just took the ncidq and items on the test but not in the book were drapery, carpet and wallcovering calculations and sustainable design.
