Description

In accordance with the requirements of Act 45 of 1999 as amended, the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC) Review and Advisory Council (RAC) completed the review of the 2018 I-Codes on April 29, 2021. The code provisions that were adopted during this process will take effect in the first quarter of 2022 with the official effective date to be confirmed. This session will build on Part 1 by providing an overview of the most substantial changes between the 2015 and 2018 ICC base codes for residential construction.
