BNI Building News Codes, Standards & Estimating Guides Catalog

BNI Building News Codes, Standards & Estimating Guides Catalog

Eighty years in the construction trade is the claim BNI Building News makes about itself. The catalog behind BNI Building News at https://bnibooks.com has four main departments: Codes and Standards, Estimating, Public Works, and a broader Construction Bookstore. The company operates as BNi Publications, Inc., based at 990 Park Center Drive, Suite E, in Vista, California, according to its own privacy policy, and the banner across the top of the site reads "Proudly serving the construction industry for 80 years!"

Beyond the codes and estimating lines up front, the BNI Building News site groups its wider Construction Bookstore into standing departments covering Architecture, Construction Management, License & Exam Prep, Engineering, Building Trades, Facility Management, Construction Law, and separate BIM and Green Building sections, per the current menu at https://bnibooks.com. License & Exam Prep splits further into Architectural, Civil Engineering, Electrical, and General Contractor license prep, while Building Trades covers Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC, Carpentry, Drywall/Painting/Tiling, Roofing, and Steel, Sheet Metal, and Welding on their own. Construction Law carries an Acret's Law Series alongside a separate Forms, Contracts, and Letters line, and the front-of-catalog Codes and Standards department anchors things with ADA/Accessibility, ACI, ASHRAE, ICC, NFPA, and State and City Codes titles.

Every order carries a satisfaction guarantee: the company's own contact page says purchases are "100% guaranteed," and a buyer who isn't satisfied can return a product within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. The same page offers a direct contact form for customer service, which the company says it answers within 24 hours of the next business day, plus a toll-free number the site spells out as 888.BNI.BOOK. Shoppers who'd rather browse first can work through the BNI Building News catalog at https://bnibooks.com before calling or writing in with a specific title or standard in hand.
