Code Builder

Please note: this resource is undergoing renovation and will soon include prescriptive code requirements and descriptions by climate zone.  Check back soon.

The BCAP Code Builder provides information on advanced codes for both commercial and residential buildings to architects, builders, and building departments. This tool also explains terminology, references current practice of specific measures, and provides information on applicability. The Code Builder will also serve as a clearinghouse for next-generation code changes - including advanced and green measures used in high performance homes.

To begin, please choose Code Builder for residential or commercial buildings.
