In several portions of the U.S. where jurisdictions have adopted the International Code Council’s model codes, we can help when you have an idea that doesn’t fit the prescriptive code minimum requirements.
Remember, the model codes adopted by states are generally a minimum requirement, and concepts that provide an equal or greater level of safety may be considered by your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
The IBC code commentary goes on to explain that the code is not intended to prohibit innovation in building construction, especially when it provides an equal or greater level of safety than provided in the model codes.
Peak Engineering can help you find a testing agency and to help in facilitating discussions on acceptance with your local AHJ.
