Code Changes are on the way in PA
Date: 8/7/2018
Pennsylvania has not experienced a substantial change to the
base building codes in nearly a decade. Come October 1, though, the Uniform
Construction Code will be subject to a major update. On May 1, 2018, the PA
Uniform Construction Code (UCC) Review and Advisory Council submitted their
report to the Department of Labor and Industry adopting the majority of code
provisions contained in the 2015 International Code Council (ICC) Model Codes. Transitioning from the base 2009 codes to the 2015 versions
means there will be a significant amount of changes in the enforceable code.
While some of these changes are mostly administrative, some of them may warrant
changes in building practices and design techniques. Our webinar on August 14 at
1:00pm will provide an overview of the adoption process, which codes will be
enforceable, and will highlight some of the major changes and amendments that
are making their way into the UCC. Why should you tune in? Here are 3 reasons
to block off a late lunch on August 14:
We hope you can tune in on August 14, 2018 at 1:00pm for the
first webinar in our 2018-2019 series. If you can’t make it live – don’t fret,
it will be recorded and made available on-demand.
