Who they are
ICC develops model codes. This nonprofit organization creates building safety and construction codes and standards, including the International Building Code and related codes on fire safety, energy conservation, existing buildings, and residential construction. It offers educational materials, certification programs, code resources, and events for building professionals. State and local jurisdictions adopt model codes for enforcement and may amend them. Firms should check each project's locally adopted code and amendments.
Why firm owners follow them
Keep staff informed. Owners and principals can follow ICC for model code development, training, and professional certification resources, supporting hiring plans, credential discussions, and internal code education. For firms involved in building or site work, updates may help teams prepare questions for authorities and clients. Because adoption and amendments vary, use the jurisdiction's published requirements to determine what governs a project rather than assuming model text applies unchanged.
How to use them: Use ICC resources for code education, then verify requirements with the project's local jurisdiction.
