What is a Building Code?
A building code is a series of rules and regulations set forth by county or city officials. Typically, building codes take into account a wide range of safety concerns. Building codes serve as guidelines throughout the construction process and allows workers to make the correct modifications to the design of homes, buildings, and other architectural structures. Building codes also clarify jurisdiction that involves extended construction processes. Violation of building code can lead to hefty fines or penalties.
Building Code Examples
Examples of Building Code include:
- Type 1: Fire-resistive code
- Type 2: non-combustible code
- Type 3: ordinary building code
- Type 4: timber-based heavy building code
- Type 5: wood-framed building code
Here is an impressive article on building code.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project.
