The Code Council and ICC-ES Exhibit at 2018 IBS

This week the International Code Council and the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) join design and construction professionals at the 2018 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show (IBS) and the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Orlando, Florida, for the fifth annual Design & Construction Week, one of the largest trade show events in the U.S.

“The Code Council is proud to be a major sponsor and exhibitor at this important event,” said Code Council Chief Executive Officer Dominic Sims, CBO. “We are excited to come together with our partners in the homebuilding community to discuss the upcoming year as we tackle such important challenges as the affordable housing crisis and disaster mitigation strategies in light of recent devastating storms and fires.”

At the two shows, ICC-ES staff will be on hand to discuss programs and services with manufacturers, clients and others who wish to learn more about the industry leader in performing technical evaluations for code compliance. ICC-ES provides a wide range of services quickly and efficiently including evaluation reports, building product listings, and plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas, and solar thermal product listings.
