Building Code Standards

Building Code Standards are regulations that ensure structures are safe, healthy, and durable. They set minimum requirements for design, construction, and materials to protect occupants and the environment. Codes address aspects like structural integrity, fire safety, electrical systems, plumbing, and accessibility. By following these standards, builders create buildings that can withstand natural disasters, prevent hazards, and provide a safe environment for users. Compliance is usually verified through permits and inspections, promoting consistency, quality, and public safety across all types of construction.
