National Building Code Compliance
Exceeding Standard Specifications
Adhering to the highest quality standards, staying current on building codes, and employing experienced craftsmen make us a leader in egress stairs built to code. Our experience and dedication ensure Sharon Stairs meet performance and code compliance.
With each state, county, and municipality having the option to adopt a regional building code or make modifications based on certain code parameters, you face a complex maze of design requirements. Our approach simplifies the design process while helping architects, engineers, and building owners successfully comply with various codes and regulations.
National Building Codes
There are three important national building codes that are the foundation for the "means of egress" sections of almost all state and local codes:
» International Building Code (IBC) by the International Code Council
» Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) by the National Fire Protection Association
» Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAC)
