CASE STUDY OF NATIONAL BUILDING CODE,
Introduction to various building codes in professional practice emphasizing the importance of codes and regulations to protect public health, safety and welfare and to ensure compliance with the local authority.
National Building Code of India- Assuring High Standards of Safety.pdfyamunaNMH
In India, the National Building Code (NBC) is a crucial document. It provides crucial guidelines for constructing residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. Their structural integrity, safety, and hazardous components are all checked by NCB.
A building code, or building control, is a set of rules that specify the minimum standards for constructed objects such as buildings and non building structures. The main purpose of building codes are to protect public health, safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures. The building code becomes law of a particular jurisdiction when formally enacted by the appropriate governmental or private authority. Building codes are generally intended to be applied by architects, engineers, constructors and regulators but are also used for various purposes by safety inspectors, environmental scientists, real estate developers, subcontractors, manufacturers of building products and materials, insurance companies, facility managers, tenants and others.
ISO 9000 Quality Standards in Construction. There is risk involved in any construction project. ... The ISO 9000 clauses most often complied with are those dealing with (1) inspection and test status; (2) inspection and testing; (3) control of nonconformance product; and (4) handling, storage, and preser- vation.
The clauses least complied with concern (1) design control; (2) internal auditing; (3) training; and (4) statistical techniques. Documentation of a quality system is scarce for the majority of the contractors.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

2. INTRODUCTION TO CODES OF PRACTICE
Introduction to various building codes in professional practice
emphasizing the importance of codes and regulations to protect
public health, safety and welfare and to ensure compliance with
the local authority.
APPLICATION OF CODES OF PRACTICE
• Understanding the applications of various codes as per various
building types.
• Conducting a comprehensive code search process and
• Representing the above analysis by preparing detailed code
data sheets as applicable in the domain which has been
chosen for the research.
3. “BUILDING CODES ARE A SERIES OF ORDINANCES
ENACTED BY A STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL
ENTITY, ESTABLISHING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
THAT MUST BE MET IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTENANCE OF BUILDINGS”.
THE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES REQUIREMENTS AND
STANDARDS TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM UNSAFE LIVING
AND WORKING CONDITIONS.
4. ✓ Ensure public health and safety throughout a building.
✓ Most have come into play “after-the-fact” as a learning
experience from a major tragedy.
✓ They are primarily concerned with
✓ Construction requirements
✓ Hazardous materials or equipment used in the building
✓ 75% of all codes and standards deal with fire
✓ Energy conservation
✓ Accessibility
5. ✓ A building code is a document containing standardized requirement for the
design & construction of most types of building.
✓ Codes regulate building construction & building use in order to protect the
health, safety & welfare of the occupant.
✓ Codes express all aspects of construction including structural integrity, fire
resistance, safe exists, lighting, electrical, energy conservation, plumbing,
sanitary facilities, ventilation, seismic design & correct use of construction
materials.
✓ Building codes classify standard by use & apply different standards to each
classification. For example, schools & office buildings are in separate
occupancy category with different performance requirement.
6. ✓ The codes includes various aspect for regulation on design
& construction viz;
✓ For Planning Building/Development work
✓ For Structural Design
✓ For Constructional aspects
✓ For Building Services (HVAC, electrical, Acoustics, lifts etc.)
✓ Plumbing Services (Water supply, Sewerage, Drainage, waste
management)
✓ Landscaping, signs and outdoor display structures
7. ✓ The purpose of all these building codes is to ensure
public safety, health & welfare as affected by
building construction.
✓ This purpose includes:
✓ Structural strength
✓ Sanitary equipment
✓ Light & ventilation
✓ Fire safety
9. ✓ The National Building Code of India (NBC), (a
comprehensive building Code), is a national instrument
providing guidelines for regulating the building construction
activities across the country.
✓ It serves as a Model Code for adoption by all agencies
involved in building construction works be they Public Works
Departments, other government construction departments,
local bodies or private construction agencies.
10. ✓ The Code mainly contains administrative regulations,
development control rules and general building requirements;
fire safety requirements; stipulations regarding materials,
structural design and construction (including safety); and
building and plumbing services.
✓ The National Building Code was first published in 1970 at the
instance of Planning Commission and then revised in 1983.
Thereafter three major amendments were issued, two in 1987
and the third in 1997.
11. These studies resulted in a recommendation that a
NATIONAL BUILDING CODE be prepared
building regulations throughout the country.
to unify the
In 1968 A Report on Economies in Construction Cost’ was
published by planning commission.
It revealed that building bylaws and regulations and some of
the prevailing methods of construction were outmoded; some
designs were over burdened with safety factors; building
bylaws of municipal bodies were outdated etc.
12. • The Bureau of Indian Standards was established with the
objective of harmonious development of standardization
activity in India.
• This Bureau, Under the Bureau of Indian StandardsAct,
1986, established Indian Standards, by a process of
consultation involving consumers, manufacturers,
Government and regulatory bodies, technologists, scientists
and testing laboratories through duly constituted
committees.
13. The first version of the NATIONAL BUILDING CODE was
published in 1970. Since the publication in 1970 version of the
NATIONAL BUILDING CODE a large number of comments and
useful suggestions for modifications and additions to different
parts and sections of the code were received.
The revised version of NATIONAL BUILDING CODE of India
was therefore, brought out in 1983
14. Based on the changes effected in the:
• Steel Code,
• Masonry Code
• Loading Codes
• to update Fire Protection Requirements,
THREE VOLUMINOUS AMENDMENTS WERE
BROUGHT OUT TO THE 1983 VERSION OF THE
CODE,
Two in 1987 and the third in 1997.
15. In the last about two decades since the publication of the 1983
version of the Code, substantial further experience had been
gained in the areas of the
• Building planning,
• Designing and
• Construction.
Intensive efforts involving wide consultative process have
resulted in finalization and publication of the
NATIONAL BUILDING CODE OF INDIA – 2005
reflecting the state-of-the-art and contemporary applicable
international practices.
17. IT IS THE THIRD REVISION COMPILED UNDER THE
AEGIS OF THE BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS (BIS).
