The National Building Code of India (NBC) was established in 1970 to provide standards for building construction. It is overseen by the Indian Standards Institution and aims to standardize construction practices across government departments, municipalities, and other agencies. The NBC establishes panels of experts to draft sections covering topics like architecture, structural engineering, construction practices, building services, and more. It has been periodically updated to incorporate changes in building bye-laws, materials standards, and additional requirements.
2. The design of NBC based on or useful to Govnt. Department ,Municipal
corporation construction agencies & many more ..
The planning commission entrusted the responsibility to design NBC in hands of
(ISI) Indian standards institution. For this advisory commission set up in civil
engineering division council in 1967. for drafting various section of the code , 18
panels of experts were formed.
Architecture
Town planner
Material agencies
Structural engineers
Construction engineering
Public health engineer
Electrical engineer
Air condition experts
Acoustics experts .. Etc

3. Action taken by committee is as under :
Modification in the prevailing specification , handbooks, manuals
Modification in the building bye laws of municipalities , zilla parishads ,
etc.
After publishing NBC code in 1970 . Many comments come from different
body of civil engineering based on that many new code designed which is
IS: 456, IS: 4326,1893 , IS:1905 , IS:800 , SP 7:2005 ,NBC -2012 is under
draft stage …
