“We are proud to support our code enforcement partners across the State with the implementation of a consistent set of modernized building codes. MUBEC establishes minimum design and construction requirements across communities, improving construction quality. Additionally, the new codes requirements will give smaller municipalities the reassurance that their new building stock will be built to the same safety standards and construction practices across the state.” State Building Official Greg Gilbert of the State Fire Marshal’s Office
