GOING BEYOND THE CODE

Abstract
According to IBC,® the codes’ intent is to “establish the minimum requirements” of numerous criteria, which means code requirements are neither best practices nor the best level of performance as some may mistakenly assume. In my experience as a forensic architect, clients generally expect a level of performance beyond the minimum, especially when experienced contractors and roof system designers are involved.
