Building codes are regulations that set out the standards to which buildings and other structures must conform. The International Residential Code (IRC) is one of the codes established in the US by the International Code Council (ICC) and is applied by most of the country’s jurisdictions as well as internationally, although it can be amended to reflect local conditions and legislation.

IRC can be applied to new one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses which are no taller than three storeys. It is intended to ensure efficient and flexible building designs that protect health and safety and encourage the use of technological advances.

In covering all aspects of construction in a single source, it comprises building, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation, and fuel gas and electrical provisions. It encompasses a set of measures that provide a prescriptive approach to building as well as a performance approach for determining compliance with the code.

It stipulates that anyone who intends to build, alter, repair, renovate, demolish, and so on, a building or structure to which the code applies, must apply for and obtain the required building permit.
