# How Important is Doing Work According to Local Building Code?

 by [**Michael Wilhelm**](https://holladaygrace.com/blog/author/michael-wilhelm) on May 22, 2023 1:00:45 PM

![PPRBD Building Code](https://holladaygrace.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PPRBD%20Building%20Code.jpg?width=648&height=841&name=PPRBD%20Building%20Code.jpg)

Building codes are extremely important for ensuring the safety, functionality, and durability of structures. They are a set of regulations, standards, and guidelines that contractors must adhere to when performing any type of project.

## **How Important are Building Codes?**

Building codes are very important for ensuring the safety and structural integrity of buildings. These codes set minimum standards for the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings, and they are typically enforced by local government authorities.

The primary purpose of building codes is to protect public health, safety, and welfare. They do this by regulating things like fire safety, structural integrity, electrical and mechanical systems, and accessibility. Building codes also help to ensure that buildings are energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable.

Without building codes, buildings could be constructed in ways that put people at risk of injury or death, such as using substandard materials or neglecting key safety features. Building codes help ensure that buildings are constructed to high standards and can withstand the forces of nature, such as tornados, hurricanes, and floods.

Overall, building codes are crucial for creating safe, healthy, and sustainable buildings that protect the well-being of occupants and the community as a whole.

### Where are Building Codes Different?

Building codes differ by county or municipality. If you are working with a qualified contractor he/she should be more than familiar with all the local building codes and guidelines. Typically, the local authority will have information on their website specifying their specific guidelines and code amendments. Below is an example of the Reroofing Guidelines from Pikes Peak Regional Building Department which governs El Paso County in Colorado.

### Choosing a Quality Contractor

Choosing a quality contractor is paramount when looking at whether your project will be completed according to code. A full in-depth article on choosing the right roofing contractor can be found [here](https://holladaygrace.com/blog/how-to-compare-roofing-contractors) on the Holladay Grace website. When talking about completing work according to code, the main pieces of information you will need to look into are:

**How Long Has the Company Been in Business?**  
Knowing how long a roofing company has been in business is a good indicator whether your project will be completed to code. A well-established company that has been in business for a long time is going to complete work according to local codes.

**Is the Company Local?**  
Knowing whether a roofing company is local or not is arguably one of the most influential factors that will determine if a company is going to perform work according to local code. With the unpredictable weather that Colorado experiences, many roofing contractors will chase storms to get work. This leads to out-of-town companies operating in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas without knowing the proper local building codes. With hail season approaching in Colorado Springs, we are likely to see a large increase in the number of roofing contractors in Colorado Springs if we experience a damaging hail storm.

### Does Holladay Grace do Work According to Code?

As a well-established company that has been around since 1979, Holladay Grace is well versed in the current building codes for all the areas that we serve in and around Colorado Springs. We also ensure that our crews install all roofing systems in accordance with the proper manufacturer recommendations and specifications.

### What Next?

Knowing if your chosen roofing contractor is performing work according to building code is important not only so your home is protected but so your project doesn’t need to be redone in the future.

Since 1979, Holladay Grace has handled every project as if it were our own home. If you’re local to the Colorado Springs community, we would be pleased to help you with all of your roofing needs.
