The International Code Council (ICC) has announced it will begin a holistic review of the International Residential Code (IRC), the national model construction code for one- and two-family dwellings that ICC updates every three years. As rising construction costs continue to exacerbate this nation’s housing affordability crisis, ICC is establishing a Board IRC Review Committee (BIRC) to identify potential changes that can reduce construction costs and simplify the code without weakening its existing life safety requirements. 

The NAHB Construction Codes and Standards (CC&S) team is encouraging NAHB members to fill out this form with their feedback to help inform the comments that NAHB plans to submit to ICC to improve future editions of the IRC. Please complete the survey below by Friday, November 14.

Your name and contact information connected to your survey response will be kept confidential.

When you submit this form, it will not automatically collect your details like name and email address unless you provide it yourself.
