                               Professional Handymen of American
              Is the only site to give you all this information for free.  

                                           It is the fact of life
     Most do-it-yourselves are unaware of building codes or why they exist.  Individuals relate codes with just another bureaucratic government program designed to take more of the home owners hard earned money.  Code requirements are necessary to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the people by having a central point for the enforcement, review, development and adoption of the state building codes by county Governments.  

     The Building and Zoning Departments in your county are your building code authorities.  They perform inspections, evaluate new codes, and ensure compliance on a daily basis.  Contractors know the building codes very well, however they still are required to have their work inspected by the local building authorities.  Once the work is complete the county completes a final inspection to clear the project for occupancy (certificate of Occupancy).  Without the blessing from the authorities your renovation is not legal. 

     Bottom line:  The health and safety of your building, family, and belongings are at stake.  Building codes constantly change thought the years due to losses technically investigated in the past.  These standards when administered by local authorities lesson the chance an item will be improperly installed.  When you hire a contractor to do the work, take the time with the small cost to know the code yourself.  In the long run you will feel better knowing your family and friends are healthy and safe in your new project.
