Want to know what the New Code Changes are?

The DCA (Dept of Community Affairs) who are in responsible for Codes changes in Georgia; only change the Code books every 6 years, yet ICC changes them every 3 years.  So, although the DCA will not change these codes for another 3+ years, the Code Officials in various jurisdictions are commanding several Code changes because they provide better safety, reduce health hazards, provide better operation, etc. As a Professional Contractor, best you know the changes are coming.

Want to know what the New Code Changes are?

Instead of going over Changes on a PowerPoint, thought I would actually show the Changes on the 2018 Code Books, by YELLOW Highlighting them.

But since the DCA (Dept of Community Affairs) who are in charge of the Codes for Georgia, only change the Code books every 6 years, yet ICC changes them every 3 years; I thought I would also YELLOW Highlight the 2015 Code Changes and add a RED TAG “2015-IFGC” or “2015-IMC” to these code locations for you to notice them.
Then, I review the State of Georgia 2020 Amendments for the 2018-IFGC and the 2018-IMC code books.
