Tentative plans call for the ICC and MBI to collaborate on a series of guidelines and standards, including a model administrative program as well as more resources for the use of containerized structures.
“Off-site construction can provide real solutions to many challenges facing the construction industry today,” said ICC Chief Executive Officer Dominic Sims, CBO.
Already successful in getting new language included in the 2018 International Building Code specifically addressing relocatable buildings — a significant portion of the modular construction industry — MBI’s new collaborative effort with ICC will focus more on permanent modular construction, bathroom pods and containerized structures.
The Modular Building Institute and the National Portable Storage Association are working together on an industry white paper regarding the safe use of containerized structures in the construction process. That white paper will be the introduction for working together with the ICC.
