Building Code

All the most relevant building code rules you need to know when building your house.

These snippets come from the IRC 2009 rules, but note that building codes vary in different local areas so you will need to do your own checking up on codes in your area. Also, this is just a few of the building codes that caught my eye and appeared relevant to my case. It is not a full set, so you should consult a full code book to make sure you meet all the codes.

For plumbing codes see the Plumbing techniques page and for electrical codes see the Electrical techniques page.
