2024 International Building Code – IBC-2024
The 2024 International Building Code® (IBC) provides coordinated regulations for the construction, alteration, addition, repair, and maintenance of commercial and multifamily buildings. Published by the International Code Council (ICC), this model code is used across jurisdictions to ensure safe, accessible, and sustainable construction through enforceable design and inspection standards. The 2024 edition introduces substantial updates reflecting emerging building technologies, revised load criteria, and digital integration tools.
Highlights:
- Structural load criteria updated per ASCE 7-22 for wind, seismic, snow, rain, and flood
- Revised risk categories, construction types, and fire-resistance ratings
- Enhancements to accessibility provisions aligned with ICC A117.1-2017
- Mass timber rules expanded for taller and larger buildings under new Type IV classifications
- New requirements for storm shelters in specific educational and emergency facilities
- Improved fire protection systems and egress strategies for large occupant loads
- QR-coded references for change tracking and digital plan review integration
- Updated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and energy provisions through I-Code coordination
- Appendices revised for tsunami design, grading, rodentproofing, and replicable buildings
- Expanded support for modular and off-site construction methodologies
Who It’s For:
Architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, and developers needing full compliance with 2024 code updates for plan review, permitting, and construction documentation.

2024 International Existing Building Code – IEBC-2024
The 2024 International Existing Building Code® (IEBC) provides comprehensive requirements for the repair, alteration, addition, relocation, and change of occupancy for existing buildings. Developed by the International Code Council (ICC), this model code helps preserve and repurpose older structures while maintaining safety, accessibility, and energy performance in alignment with modern standards. This edition enhances flexibility for design professionals and jurisdictions by offering multiple compliance paths tailored to project scope and building condition.
Highlights:
- Includes Prescriptive, Work Area, and Performance compliance methods
- Addresses seismic retrofit, structural evaluation, and wind resistance
- Allows for safe and cost-effective adaptive reuse of historic buildings
- Supports partial compliance upgrades for alterations and additions
- Clarifies occupancy classification changes and corresponding code triggers
- Updated accessibility provisions aligned with ICC A117.1 and federal mandates
- Appendices cover seismic provisions (A), accessibility alternatives (B), wind retrofits (C), and relocated buildings (E)
- Fully coordinated with 2024 I-Codes including IBC, IFC, IPC, IMC, and IECC
- QR-coded revisions improve digital reference and field usability
Who It’s For:
Architects, engineers, contractors, and code officials engaged in upgrading, modifying, or repurposing existing buildings. Ensures compliant, sustainable, and safe renovations without requiring full new-construction code adherence.
