Collectively, these chapters will comprise the County's construction code. The purpose <br /> of this code is to: protect public health and safety, safeguard property, and promote the <br /> public welfare by establishing minimum standards for: <br /> (1) Building work, namely the construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, <br /> relocation, improvement, removal, conversion, or demolition of any building or <br /> structure; <br /> (2) Electrical work, namely the installation, alteration, reconstruction, or repair of <br /> electrical wiring; <br /> (3) Plumbing work; namely the installation, alteration, reconstruction, or repair of <br /> plumbing, gas, and drainage systems; and <br /> (4) The energy efficient design of building envelopes and installation of mechanical, <br /> lighting, and power systems. <br /> The table below outlines the contents of the five chapters that will comprise the <br /> County's construction code. The first column lists the proposed sections in this new <br /> construction code in consecutive numerical order. The second column shows section <br /> numbers from relevant sections in the existing County Code. These new sections were <br /> drafted after consideration of model codes, the State building codes, and codes from other <br /> Counties in the State. Consequently, in many instances the language in the new sections is <br /> not identical to that in existing sections. The third column includes the names of the new <br /> sections. <br /> Table of Sections <br /> Proposed Existing Section Section Name <br /> Section <br /> Chapter 5.
