As Building Safety Month begins in May, Chicagoans are encouraged to prioritize disaster preparedness, follow updated building codes, use permit expeditor services, and fast-track permit applications to enhance compliance efficiency.
This year, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the International Code Council’s Building Safety Month. At Burnham Nationwide, we firmly believe that Building Safety Month serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to modernized building codes and implementing effective disaster preparedness measures. By staying informed and proactive, we can effectively mitigate risks and safeguard our communities.
A spokesperson for Burnham Nationwide in Chicago, IL, states, "Ensuring building safety is not just about code compliance; it's about protecting lives and livelihoods. By embracing modernized building codes, proactive disaster preparedness, utilizing expediting services, and expediting building permit applications, we empower our communities to thrive in the face of challenges."
The recent surge in natural disasters underscores the importance of proactive planning, code compliance, expedited permitting, and building permit applications. Modernizing building codes not only enhances structural resilience but also significantly reduces the impact of natural disasters. Studies show that following the most modern building codes can decrease loss by up to 25 percent, emphasizing the tangible benefits of Burnham Nationwide’s services.
In urban areas like Chicago, where the risk of tornados, floods, and snowstorms are present, the adoption of modernized building codes, permit expeditor services, and building permit applications is paramount. Incorporating tornado-resistant and flood-resistant design principles into building codes ensures the safety and security of residents and properties while expediting the permitting process.
States across the country, including Illinois, are diligently working to implement and enforce modernized building codes. By prioritizing code compliance, disaster preparedness, utilizing permit expeditor services, and expediting building permit applications, Burnham can help build a safer and more resilient future for generations to come.
At Burnham Nationwide, we provide comprehensive services to support every stage of the construction process, including permit expeditor services, building permit applications, for streamlined compliance.
