Building codes serve as the backbone of construction regulations, shaping the development landscape for Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) projects in the capital Emirate. Derived from the International Codes issued by the International Codes Council, these regulations offer a comprehensive guide, ensuring designers, builders, and regulators adhere to prescribed standards effectively. The adaptation of these codes not only validates their effectiveness but also sets a high standard for the Emirates' development, facilitated by collaborative efforts among stakeholders and representation from the Emirate’s three municipalities.
