About this Event
The design and construction of apartment buildings requires the application of both fundamental and unique IBC requirements. This seminar focuses on those provisions that are commonly encountered in these types of residential buildings. Provisions specific to residential building classification, fire-resistance, fire protection, means of egress and accessibility will be addressed. In addition, detailed provisions discussed will include podium buildings, occupied roofs, incidental uses and dwelling unit separations.
