Chicago to adopt ICC codes

[Mike Lamb]

I tried posting this in the Articles forum but it has moved to another location? ??

Moving to the ICC would be great for private inspectors.  Trying to search Chgo. Building Code is ridiculous.

So I guess this is a great leap forward?

The code agencies are struggling a bit, as they make their money like any publishing house, selling their copyrighted content.

NFPA publishes the full range of codes, but they dominate in electric, life safety, and fire.

ICC used to run a great forum, but they shut it down several years ago, broke it into pieces,  and the traffic dropped to near zero.
