Can I have my portable building recertified if it is altered? Is the altered building required to meet the mandatory building codes currently adopted under the IHB program?
Yes, if the building bears an IHB certification decal. Portable buildings that bear an IHB certification decal may be recertified if altered. Procedures for recertifying an existing industrialized building may be downloaded from our web site. A portable building that does not have an IHB decal cannot be recertified under the Texas program. The alterations must comply with the edition of the International Existing Building Code that is currently adopted by the Texas Industrialized Building Code Council. The effective edition of the code may be found on our web site. For additional questions, please contact us at (512) 539-5735 or industrialized.buildings@license.state.tx.us.
