Building Codes and Regulations

Building codes and regulations are sets of rules established by local, state, and national authorities to ensure the safety, health, and general welfare of people in and around buildings. They cover aspects such as construction materials, structural integrity, fire safety, plumbing, and electrical systems. Compliance with these codes helps protect occupants and the environment, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures that buildings are accessible and sustainable. Inspections are often required during and after construction to confirm that these standards are met.
