INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE, 2021

The International Building Code, 2021 (IBC 2021), published by the International Code Council (ICC), establishes comprehensive regulations for building safety, structural integrity, fire prevention, and accessibility across commercial and residential construction projects. Used as a core reference text for contractor and building inspector examinations, this code outlines minimum design standards and material specifications recognized by jurisdictions nationwide. 1 Exam Prep provides the IBC 2021 as an essential resource for Florida contractor license candidates, aligning with state-adopted building codes and CILB-approved testing requirements. This edition integrates provisions for seismic loads, energy efficiency, and accessibility under the ADA, serving as a foundational study guide for general, building, and residential contractor exams administered by PSI and Prometric.

The 2021 International Building Code applies to all buildings except detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories.
