History of Building Codes

341 BC. Roman Empire

Heinrick Lattermann, while restoring a
document engraved in the stone of a
Roman building built about 341 B.C.,
discovered that the engraving included
detailed building procedures and
regulations on how the stones were to
be laid and the number of iron dowels
to be used, all under the supervision of
the architect.

Biblical References

A code-type requirements can also be found in

the Old Testament with provisions like in
Deuteronomy 22:8, which states:

“When you build a new house, you shall make a

parapet for your roof that you may not bring the
guilt of blood upon your house if anyone fall
from it.”

History of Building Codes

Recent History: 1800’s

Various civilizations over the centuries have developed building

codes. The origins of the codes we use today lie in the great fires that
swept American cities regularly in the 1800s. Chicago developed a
building code in 1875 to placate the National Board of Fire Underwriters,
who threatened to cut off insurance for businesses after the fire of 1871.
It is essential to keep the fire-based origins of the codes in mind when
trying to understand the reasoning behind many code requirements.

Recent History: 1800’s

As the world’s population has increased, people have moved

nearer to bodies of water, to regions subject to high winds, and into
wooded areas on the edges of towns. Mitigating the impact of hazards
such as floods, high winds, earthquakes, and wildland fires in populated
areas, has increasingly been included in each new edition of the model
codes. While fire safety is still a very large component in model codes,
new model code documents now also include many provisions above
and beyond the traditional firebased requirements.

History of Building Codes

The International Building Code

1. Early 20th Century: Local building codes are developed at the city or county
level in the United States, leading to a lack of consistency and challenges for
construction professionals.

2. 1915: The Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA)
is established to create model building codes for local jurisdictions.

3. 1922: The International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) is founded with

a similar aim of developing model building codes.

4. 1940: The Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) is formed to
address the needs of southern states by creating model building codes.

5. 1994: BOCA, SBCCI, and ICBO merge to form the International Code Council
(ICC), consolidating efforts to create a single, comprehensive set of
international building codes.
6. 2000: The first edition of the International Building Code (IBC) is published by
the ICC.

7. Ongoing: The ICC regularly updates and revises the IBC to incorporate
advancements in construction technology, materials, and safety standards.
New editions are typically published every three years.

8. Global Influence: The IBC gains international recognition and influence, with
many countries and regions adopting it or using its principles as a basis for their
own building codes

construction, and operation of structures, systems, and components.
MODULE 1.0: Introduction to Building Code
General Provisions

What is Standards?
It provides a common
framework and reference for ensuring
consistency, quality, safety, and
interoperability in engineering
practices, materials, products, and
processes. They are often used as a
basis for design, testing, production,
and certification, and they serve to
harmonize technical requirements
across different regions and
industries.
