The building code gets more complicated with each new edition.  And, as it gets more complicated, the potential liability upon the design professional increases.

This seminar was developed with the design professional in mind.  Understanding the building code and applying its provisions as a building's design develops, will minimize costly changes at design completion and during construction.

The Designers Code Academy: Building Code Application during Design seminar walks the design professional along a step-by-step process of applying the requirements of the International Building Code at each phase of the design: Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents.  Additionally, this seminar will cover how to apply the International Existing Building Code when existing buildings undergo alteration, repair, addition, and change of occupancy.

Registrants will have an opportunity to purchase copies of the 2012 International Building Code and the 2012 International Existing Building Code at 25% off the ICC member price.
