NEW! Reach a higher level of building safety with the NFPA 5000® Set!

For the first time, construction professionals, AHJ's, and designers have a comprehensive, ANSI approved model building Code covering every aspect of safety. NFPA 5000: Building Construction and Safety Code® provides clear and reasonable requirements for new construction, building rehabilitation, and enforcement.

Provisions address safety in all types of structures, plus design, construction materials, accessibility provisions, fire and life safety features, and building systems. There's a complete process for a performance-based design option, along with a chapter devoted to the rehab of existing buildings.

Apply requirements with confidence, using NFPA's Handbook!

To create this first-edition Building Construction and Safety Code® Handbook, NFPA worked with 27 industry leaders whose experience spans every aspect of building safety. Their expert, first-time commentary lends background facts, rationale, and tips you won't find in any other source. Advice and illustrations appear directly below the appropriate NFPA 5000 text, so answers are always close at hand.

The California Building Standards Commission recently voted to use NFPA 5000 as the model building code for the 2004 code cycle in California.

Boost safety in your jurisdiction or for your clients with the premier edition of NFPA 5000--and its comprehensive guide, the NFPA Handbook! You'll get the best value from the Code source.
