Seminar Content

IBC 2003 to 2009?

This past spring we held a seminar on the changes that will be taking place with the IRC. This seminar will highlight changes to the IBC.

When Connecticut adopts the 2009 IBC (International Building Code), many changes will affect the way structures are designed, constructed, inspected and approved.

Remember that 2009 provisions may be adopted for any project even before they are officially adopted by the state. Modification forms are required.
