leginfo.ca.gov has ONLY the laws, but not the regulations or CA 
administrative codes.  The OAL site at http://www.oal.ca.gov/ has some 
of the administrative codes, but not the building codes.  In fact, if 
you follow the link to the regulations from the oal site, it goes to a 
site run by Westlaw.  There you will find the following notice:

Why is Title 24 (the California Building Standards) not included as part 
of this CCR Website?

Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, known as California 
Building Standards, contains copyrighted materials under the ownership 
of several model code publishers and cannot be provided here. The eleven 
parts of Title 24 that comprise California's Building Standards are 
available for review at depository libraries, or for purchase in paper 
format from the copyright holders and selected vendors.

Please contact the California Building Standards Commission's home page, 
http://www.bsc.ca.gov, for information on the availability of Title 24.


Follow that link and eventually you wind up with:
Title 24 is available for purchase or available to the public at no cost 
through depository libraries.
