Abstract
This paper demonstrates the importance of developing and using a code assessment framework that takes into account technical, economic and social impacts of building code requirements. The effects of other regulations such as zoning laws and land-use restrictions are not discussed. The model can, however, be used for evaluating existing code requirements and for investigating the marginal impact of new or proposed code requirements that may be adopted in the future. It is expected that the development of the proposed framework will help rationalize code requirements designed to satisfy the given objectives of building codes.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
