Where Massachusetts requirements are different than requirements of the baseline IBC-2003 and IRC-2003, every effort has been made to identify such differences using bold and italicized print or in the case of entire chapters unique to Massachusetts simply so identifying such at the beginning of the chapter, but because Massachusetts does not just adopt unaltered versions of the IBC and IRC the reader is cautioned to always utilize the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR) when designing and constructing/reconstructing buildings and structures in Massachusetts.
