Construction Management: Code & Standards

The International Code Council is a member-focused association. It is dedicated to developing model codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures

includes: International Building Code (IBC), International Wildland-Urban Inferface Code (IWUIC), International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC)), International Residential Code (IRC), Internationall Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Green Constrcution Code (IgCC), International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), International Fire Code (IFC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), International Code Council Performance Code (ICCPC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC)

Various state code amendments and state-written codes including the Washington State Energy Code (2015)

includes: Building Code, Residential Code, Fire Code, Energy Code, Existing Building Code, Fuel Gas Code, and Mechanical Code

The Institute oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standards – including globally-recognized cross-sector programs such as the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 management systems.

Provided by ANSI - the premiere online resource providing free, easy-to-use, self-paced educational tools for standards and conformity assessment education. Includes acronym directory, standards database, and case studies among other learning resources.

Formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards.

The IEEE-SA is a leading consensus building organization that nurtures, develops and advances global technologies.

The world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards.

NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

The 2010 Standards set minimum requirements – both scoping and technical -- for newly designed and constructed or altered State and local government facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.

It addresses changes to the 2010 Standards, the reasoning behind those changes, and responses to public comments received on these topics.

This document provides a comparison between the updated ADA Accessibility Guidelines, the original ADA Standards, and the International Building Code (2003 edition).

Providing information, training, and guidance on the Americans with Disabilities Act to Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, & Washington.

Freedom by Design™, the AIAS community service program in partnership with the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), uses the talents of architecture students to radically impact the lives of people in their community through modest design and construction solutions. The program embraces efforts to provide both design-build and engagement solutions to address 5 barriers: physical, educational, environmental, socio-economic, cultural.

The 2009 edition of the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions is the seventh update since the first publication in 1985. This new edition introduces new knowledge, innovative concepts, and design methods to improve the national seismic standards and codes.

A companion guide to the 2009 edition of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures. This document is intended to provide these interested individuals with a readily understandable explanation of the intent and requirements of seismic design in general and the Provisions in particular.

The 2nd Edition Seismic Design Manual includes sections on general seismic design considerations, analysis considerations, and systems not specifically detailed for seismic resistance. Different seismic force resisting systems are covered in the balance of the sections, along with diaphragms, chord and collectors as well as an introduction to engineered damping systems.
