Virginia Building and Code Officials Association President Jimmy Moss mark Building Safety Month in this conversation with DHCD’s Amanda Love. Broad stakeholder participation marks the ongoing development of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC). “It’s not like it’s written by someone and handed down,” says Moss. “We help develop it.”
Then, across Virginia, building departments and code officials use it to help develop safe, sustainable, and affordable communities. “The idea is not for the code to be an obstacle, but the roadmap to where (the customer) wants to be.” Moss is the City of Galax projects manager.
May is the International Code Council (ICC) Building Safety Month. Safer buildings, safer communities, safer world. #buildingsafety365
