WASHINGTON, DC — The International Code Council (ICC) has reported that the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is supporting the effort of its members and local associations to adopt the International Residential Code (IRC®) and other International Codes.
“NAHB policy supports the concept of a single set of national model building codes,” said Bruce Smith, NAHB president. “And, in fact, NAHB worked with the International Code Council to develop the IRC as a simple, user-friendly, standalone residential code that takes housing affordability into consideration when specific code provisions are developed.”
