Building Code IRR of the Philippines

Delays in construction permits and clearances arise due to the conflicting interpretation of the Building Code of the Philippines among the government authorities, technical professionals, property owners and developers.
It is time set the records straight! The Center for Global Best Practices will host a training entitled, “Property Developers’ Guide to the Building Code IRR of the Philippines” to be held on Wednesday & Thursday, March 20 & 21, 2019 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.
This two-day program is designed to provide a clear guideline to the 2005 IRR of the Building Code of the Philippines. This training is to help different stakeholders align their referral codes in architecture, structure, plumbing, electronics, sanitation, electrical, mechanical and interior design to the building code. Attendees will learn valuable insights on how to fast track building permits, updates on the latest government issuances, memoranda, and decided cases on conflicts affecting building construction and maintenance, as well as remedies to stoppage orders.
