International Code Council (ICC)

The International Code Council (ICC) is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes building codes and standards in the United States. These codes ensure that buildings are safe, sustainable, and accessible for everyone. They cover various aspects of construction, including structural integrity, fire safety, and energy efficiency. Local governments often adopt these codes to guide their building regulations, helping to protect public health and safety. Essentially, the ICC helps set the rules for how buildings are designed and constructed, making our communities safer and more resilient.
