Code Reference Documents

What are Code Packets?

Code Packets are jurisdiction-specific building code reference documents generated for a specific ZIP code and set of work scopes. They compile the relevant building codes, special zone requirements, and energy code specifications into a single PDF.

Each document is tailored to the exact jurisdiction — including state, county, and municipal code adoptions — so contractors have the precise requirements for their project location.
