Applying the International Residential Code (IRC)

This course delivers a deep dive into the structural and safety provisions of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), focusing on real-world application for single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses. Engineers will explore load paths, framing systems, fire resistance, egress, and glazing requirements—translating code language into actionable design decisions. With updates from the UDC and side-by-side examples, participants will be prepared for both current enforcement and future code adoption.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Analyze and apply IRC structural provisions including load paths, framing, and foundation systems.
  • Identify and resolve common code compliance issues in fire safety, egress, and glazing.
  • Prepare construction documents that meet IRC requirements and pass plan review with confidence.

Who Should Attend:

  • Architects and structural and civil engineers designing residential buildings.
  • Plan reviewers, code officials, construction managers, and inspectors seeking practical code application.
  • Project managers and consultants navigating code compliance in residential construction.
