Stop wasting time looking for the same information over and over again. Grab this pack of Cliff Codes and get ready to save some time and some sanity. Aimed to be a handy reference for experienced Architects and a great starting point to get familiar with the code for young designers, this pack includes 10 commonly referenced code sections from the 2021 Michigan Building Code ( modeled after IBC 2021), Michigan Rehabilitation Code and more!
Let’s be honest — studying for the ARE 5.0 can be a lot. The books are dense, the practice questions feel disconnected from real design work, and sometimes it’s hard to know where to start.
That’s why I created (almost) Architect. I wanted study tools that actually felt helpful — something visual, hands-on, and made by someone who’s been through it, too. These workbooks are packed with real-world-inspired case studies, sketch-based activities, and bite-sized prompts to get you thinking like an architect (not just cramming like a test-taker).
My goal is to make this process feel a little more human, a little more creative, and a lot more doable. You can use this workbook however it fits into your life — 10 minutes at a time, on a weekend deep dive, or during a coffee break between deadlines.
Thanks for picking this up. I’m rooting for you— and I hope this helps make your path to licensure feel a little clearer (and maybe even a little fun).
