Updated to the ICC standards and based off the 2003 IRC and IBC!

The State of Massachusetts 1 & 2 Family Residential Dwelling Building Code from ICC (780 CMR) is a fully integrated, custom code based on the 2003 International Residential Code.

Tabs and a CD are included! The CD contains the code in a PDF format as well as the "2003 IRC Checklist" and "Residential Inspector's Guide: Based on the 2003 IRC" in PDF and RTF formats.

Where Massachusetts requirements are different than requirements of the baseline IBC-2003 and IRC-2003, every effort has been made to identify such differences using bold and italicized print or in the case of entire chapters unique to Massachusetts simply so identifying such at the beginning of the chapter, but because Massachusetts does not just adopt unaltered versions of the IBC and IRC the reader is cautioned to always utilize the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR) when designing and constructing/reconstructing buildings and structures in Massachusetts.

The Seventh Edition addressing all building uses except one- and two-family is in final development as of August 1, 2006. The Building Code for all building uses except one- and two-family detached buildings will remain the Sixth Edition, Massachusetts State Building Code until further notice.
