Applying the Building 🏢 Code. Step-by-Step Guidance for Design and ➕ Building 🏢 Professionals

✅ No other resource—not ❌️ even the building 🏢 code—presents 🎁 the exact code information ℹ️ you ➡️👤 need, when you ➡️👤 need it at design stage The International 🌐 Building 🏢 Code (IBC) is a model building 🏢 code developed 👨‍💻️ by the International 🌐 Code Council (ICC). The IBC and ➕ its complementary codes provide design and ➕ construction 🏗️ professionals with a complete set 📐 of comprehensive, coordinated building 🏢 safety and ➕ fire 🔥 prevention regulations in order to safeguard the public health and ➕ general welfare of the occupants of new 🆕 and ➕ existing buildings and ➕ structures. Adopted throughout most of the United States and ➕ its territories, it is referenced by federal agencies, such as the General Services Administration, National 🏞️ Park Service, Department 🏬 of State, U.S. Forest Service, and ➕ the Department 🏬 of Defense. For architects 👨‍💼 and ➕ other design and ➕ construction 🏗️ professionals, it is particularly important that they understand how to apply the IBC and ➕ how code officials view buildings, so that they integrate code-required provisions in the earliest design stages of any project. Applying the IBC, as well as its companion codes, to building 🏢 design is a process that is uniquely different to that of applying the building 🏢 code during a planning review. Whereas other guide books 📚️ explain the IBC in sequential order, from cover 📔 to cover 📔, chapter by chapter, and ➕ section by section, Applying the Building 🏢 Code explains the requirements of the IBC as they would apply during the common phases of design: from schematic design through to the preparation of construction 🏗️ documents 📃. This effectively highlights applicable requirements of the building 🏢 code at the appropriate stage of design based on available information ℹ️. The book 📚️ provides a 2️⃣8️⃣-step process that is organized according to the three 3️⃣ phases of architectural design: schematic design, design development 👨‍💻️, and ➕ construction 🏗️ documents 📃 Each step explains the application of the IBC, as well as other codes and ➕ standards referenced by the IBC (i.e. International 🌐 Fire 🔥 Code, International 🌐 Energy Conservation Code, and ➕ ANSI A1️⃣1️⃣7️⃣.1️⃣) based on available project information ℹ️ Illustrations and ➕ examples are provided throughout that explain the code fundamentals associated with each step A single example project is used throughout the step-by-step process to illustrate how each step is applied and ➕ builds upon code and ➕ project information ℹ️ obtained through previous steps Guidance is also provided on the International 🌐 Existing Building 🏢 Code and ➕ how the step-by-step process is applied to projects involving existing buildings The role of the building 🏢 department 🏬 and ➕ its staff ⚕️ in regard to plan reviews and ➕ code enforcement is discussed A detailed code data information ℹ️ template is provided that can 🥫 help organize code-related information ℹ️ for construction 🏗️ documents 📃
