Description
The history of the building codes can be traced back to Roman times. Our current codes were born of fire codes in major metropolitan areas and most address the safety of the buildings occupants. Ongoing changes to the codes can be attributed to problems or failures on past structures that resulted in injury or simply new methods of construction. Most municipalities adopt an ordinance that references the Wisconsin Codes and thus does not re-invent the wheel . Many large communities may have additions to the state codes but those requirements cannot be less restrictive and in many cases not more restrictive.
