BOCA National Building Code

The BOCA National Building Code is a set of standards and rules for constructing and maintaining buildings in a safe, healthy, and durable manner. It covers aspects like structural integrity, fire safety, plumbing, electrical systems, and accessibility. Designed to ensure buildings are safe for occupants and the environment, the code provides guidelines for design, construction, and inspection processes. Many local jurisdictions adopt or adapt it to regulate building practices, helping prevent hazards, promote consistency, and protect public safety and property.
