I-Codes

With recognition that the United States needed a single set of comprehensive and coordinated building codes the International Code Council was formed in 20013 from three regional building code organizations - the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, the International Conference of Building Officials, and the Southern Building Code Congress International.  The Council continues to work with experts from across the building industry to develop and update its codes and standards, which are used by building officials, architects, engineers, builders, and others to ensure the safety, sustainability, and resilience of buildings and communities.
