International Building Code

The International Building Code (IBC) is a set of regulations designed to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of building occupants. Developed by the International Code Council, it provides standards for construction, design, and materials used in buildings. The IBC covers various aspects, including structural integrity, fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. It serves as a guideline for architects, engineers, and builders, helping to create safe and reliable structures. Many local governments adopt the IBC or modify it to fit their specific needs, promoting consistent building practices across different regions.
