Together with occupancy classification, one of the most critical steps in analyzing a building for code compliance is classifying it for type of construction purposes. This seminar based on IBC Chapter 6 will address the identification of the construction materials and fire-resistance-rated features associated with the varied individual construction types. The permissible use of combustible materials in Type I and II noncombustible buildings will also be addressed. The scope of the presentation and discussion will include:

  • Overview of the key construction-related elements that together create a buildings construction type.

  • Methodology for determining those construction types permitted for a specific building.

  • Specific features related to each of the IBCs 12 types of construction.

  • Special conditions and allowances for type of construction compliance based on buildings height, area and occupancy.


  • The following publication is recommended to ensure success in the course:
    • Recommended - 2024 International Building Code® (IBC®)
