SUMMARY:The Hidden Cost of Regulation: Building Code Reform
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Over the past couple of years\, lawmakers in Sacramento have worked hard to make it easier to build homes through zoning reform. While it may be easier to build housing\, the cost has only gotten more expensive. \nAs policymakers search for the next frontier in housing reform\, attention is turning toward the building code itself. Regulations governing building design\, safety standards\, and energy performance—while well-intentioned—can significantly influence the cost\, feasibility\, and speed of housing development. \nThis panel will explore emerging proposals to modernize California’s building standards\, including single-stair reform\, targeted code concessions\, and proposals to freeze updates to the state building code. Featuring policy leaders\, industry experts\, and practitioners\, the discussion will focus on how building code reform could reduce construction costs while maintaining safety and quality standards.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Registration for this training is free for current NPH members (Non-Member Cost: $10)The registration form will verify your membership based on the email domain you use to register.
