The NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code provides minimum design regulations to safeguard life and limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating and controlling the permitting, design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures within the jurisdiction and certain equipment specifically regulated herein.

Serving as the cornerstone of the first full, integrated set of ANSI-accredited codes and standards, this important reference is also the only building code featuring an occupancy-based format, along with integrated provisions for both performance-based design options and the rehabilitative use of existing buildings. 505 pp.
