Success as a Code Council Chapter 

MPMIA has been a key player in Maryland’s adoption and implementation of several International Codes® (I-Codes). The chapter actively supports efforts to bring greater uniformity to the design, construction and inspection of commercial and residential buildings across the state through building codes and standards.

Chapters play a pivotal role in advancing the mission and goals of the Code Council. They provide significant support for the code development process, I-Code adoptions and other important Code Council initiatives such as Building Safety Month.
