Building Codes & Regulatory
Resources |
|
The regulatory environment for
design and construction consists of building codes and standards
covering local, state, federal, land use and environmental regulations which are developed specifically for the purpose
of regulating the life-safety, health and welfare of the public. Once adopted, building codes
become law.
This is a guide to locating
codes especially for California and the San Francisco Bay Area, in the
UC Berkeley libraries and on the internet. Current codes are listed first,
historical or older codes follow. For additional assistance please consult the Environmental
Design Library reference staff, 210 Wurster Hall. |

| BUILDING
CODES a brief history |
- The Uniform Building Code was first
enacted by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) on
- October 18-21, 1927. Revised editions of this code are published approx.
every 3 years.
- The California Building Code was
approved and incorporated into the UBC in 1988. In California we use the
- California Building Code and San Francisco uses the San Francisco
Building Code.
- The new national code is the International
Building Code (IBC) first produced in 2000 by the International Code Council. It combines the three model building codes published by BOCA,
ICBO and SBCCI. Check with the specific community planning or building
department to find out which codes apply to your project.
- http://wwww.icc.com
- The triennial edition of the
California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (California Building Standards
Code) applies to all occupancies that applied for a building permit and
remains in effect until the effective date of the new triennial edition.
Refer to the California Building Standards
Commission.<
