North American Building Code

The North American Building Code (NABCO) is a set of standards and guidelines that ensure buildings are safe, accessible, and efficient. Developed collaboratively by authorities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, it covers aspects like structural integrity, fire safety, electrical systems, plumbing, and energy use. The code helps architects, engineers, and builders create structures that protect occupants and the environment, while complying with legal requirements. It’s regularly updated to reflect new technologies, materials, and safety practices, promoting consistent and reliable building quality across North America.
