Residential Code

The Residential Code is a set of official rules and standards that govern the design, construction, and safety of homes. It ensures buildings are safe, durable, energy-efficient, and accessible by providing guidelines on aspects like structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, fire safety, and insulation. These codes are enforced by local authorities to promote uniformity and protect residents. Following the Residential Code helps prevent hazards, ensures quality workmanship, and makes sure homes meet community standards. It is regularly updated to incorporate new safety practices, technologies, and building materials.
