The HBA Asks: What Code Interpretation Issues Are You Facing?


The HBA participates as a member of the Oregon Building Official Code Consistency Group, which is comprised of building officials and senior inspection staff from local jurisdictions, Oregon’s Building Code Division, and Oregon Building Officials Association. At its monthly meetings, the group discusses best practices for code interpretation and works through current issues facing building inspection officials. In conjunction with the HBA, the group will host an upcoming discussion on modular and prefabricated structures. The HBA supports the group’s work to promote code interpretation consistency across jurisdictions, which leads to predictability and ease of use in the construction process. If you are currently facing issues with code interpretation, let us know! We can bring your issues before the group and work towards statewide consistency in interpretation. To learn more about our work with local building officials, please contact Roseann Johnson at roseannj@hbapdx.org.
