NC Building Code Update
June 5 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Join us for a NC Building Code Update on Thursday, June 5 from 12 noon – 1:30 pm featuring Cliff Isaac, NCHBA Director of Codes and Construction. Cliff will share an overview of the changes forthcoming in the three codes which builders, inspectors, developers, engineers, etc. will need to comply upon next year’s effective date. See background information below…along with links to published code books.
Cliff brings a wealth of experience and knowledge…so bring any questions regarding existing and/or new codes…along with any interpretation issues that may need clarification with local jurisdictions.
Special thanks to our sponsor: Marble Granite World
Lunch will be provided…seating is limited…RSVP Below by June 2
Background Information:
Signed into law on March 19, HB 47 (Disaster Recovery Act of 2025) delays the effective date for both the commercial and residential codes until 12 months after the NC Residential Code Council is set and the publication of all the NC State Building Codes. This simply means that you can apply for a permit under the current 2018 NC Codes until sometime next year…date to still be determined based on the above requirements. You can use the new 2024 NC Codes as an alternate method if you wish now.
Code Books
A few of the 2024 NC Codes are now available for purchase. The 2024 NC Residential Code is still being worked on and will be available possibly later this month. Ideally, at least six months should be allowed for the construction industry to understand all the code changes.
The published new 2024 approved codes that focus on residential dwellings and structures are the following:
- 2024 NC Administrative Code (available for purchase now)
- 2024 NC Residential Code (anticipated to be available late-May from ICC)
- 2023 NC Electrical Code (based on the 2023 NEC with NC Amendments)
