What is code and why is it important for your project?

Code refers to the specific requirements and standards that govern all building projects. These requirements can cover everything from structural integrity and thermal efficiency to the proper placement of fixtures, like toilets, in your home. Experts have carefully reviewed all aspects of construction to develop these guidelines, ensuring that every project follows safe, efficient, and effective practices.

Local building codes are reviewed by a plan examiner when your project is submitted, and they must be adhered to by your builder throughout construction.

Building codes are crucial because they provide a layer of protection for your project. They’re designed to address potential issues based on past experiences, helping to prevent future problems.

Whether you’re constructing a new home or remodeling a bathroom, having your plans reviewed by a professional who thoroughly understands building codes is always a wise decision. Even if your project is inspected by a building official, an expert review will help ensure everything meets the necessary standards.
