THE CODE OFFICIAL IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE CODE COMPLIANCE
The building code was established to set minimum requirements for life safety and preservation of property. It is important to know that while the building code establishes the requirements, it is the code official that has the power to enforce its provisions.

The code official also has the latitude to allow materials and methods of construction that are not addressed in the code. In this case, an official can perform their own analysis of evidence presented or can rely on independent, qualified sources such as ICC-ES to do the analysis and provide their findings.

The resulting report is specific, technical evidence on which the code official can base approval of a particular design without delaying construction.
