Request a code change

The National Model Construction Codes improve with each edition thanks to the contributions of inspectors, designers, suppliers, contractors, researchers, instructors, and others. Every change request is reviewed by a CCBFC standing committee.

Typical changes:

accommodate new construction techniques and systems
clarify requirements
update references to standards
propose expansion of scope or objective.

Do you have a suggestion to improve one of the Codes? If so, please read the detailed guidelines and, for each change request, submit a separate Code Change Request using the on-line form provided.

Your change request will be considered for the 2020 editions of the Codes and should include:

the existing Code requirement, if applicable
the reasons for the change or addition
your proposed revision or new requirement
supporting documentation, including cost/benefit data
the enforcement implications, and
the related Code objectives.
