How will these new standards impact city codes or the International Residential Code (IRC)?
They won’t. The commission-adopted standards are not Codes. Codes dictate how a builder must build a home. The building and performance standards spell out how a home must perform after it is built. The performance standards offer all Texans the promise that their newly purchased home will remain structurally sound for years to come. Municipalities frequently adopt a version of the IRC for construction within their city. Builders who build within those cities still must comply with the city code requirements. Builders who build outside a city will have to comply with the version of the IRC that the commission-adopted standards require.
