A message from PPRBD:

The first draft of the new 2023 Pikes Peak Regional Building Code is now available as of July 1st. That is also opening day for the first round of Public Comment which will last two months. There will be a very obvious button on the PPRBD website for public comment. It is really important that you review the proposed amendments to the new codes and give us your feedback. Please provide constructive comments and any suggestions you might have. Comments like, “I don’t like it” or “don’t do it” will not be helpful. 

This will be a very lengthy process so I’ve included an estimated schedule for the code change.

Code Development Schedule

The most important date is July 1, 2023. That is the deadline for when we must have a new code adopted and enforced. If we don’t beat that deadline, the new energy code bill that passed the legislature earlier this year will force us to adopt the latest energy code (2021 IECC), which will be significantly more restrictive and will make it more expensive to build. Please help us beat this deadline by getting your feedback to us early.

PPRBD Meeting (Via Teams)

Expected Discussion:

• Elevator issues – frequent design misses, lesser known requirements, things that are different
in this jurisdiction compared to others.
• Top 5 or 10 plan review items that get missed that designers/engineers should be aware of.
• Design items where specific code references must called out on drawings.
• Top 5 or 10 inspection fails to look out for that could potentially be addressed/documented
during design and put on the drawings to avoid a problem during inspection.
• Update on the new PPRBD north office location – what operations can occur up there vs. the
main location? Key things to know?
• PPRBD plan review stats: # permit applications/day, current estimated review times, etc.
• Building trends in the region – which sectors seem to be growing the most and least.
• YOUR live questions! Bring ‘em – we will have the experts in the house!
