Off-Site and Modular Construction
Standards and Guideline Committees
(OSMC/OSMEP/OSMTH/G6)
The new OSMTH committee has begun development of new ICC/THIA 1215, Design, Construction, Inspection and Regulation of Tiny Houses for Permanent Occupancy. The first public committee meeting was held on January 31, 2024.
In February 2023 the Code Council launched development of ICC G6-2023, Guideline on Advanced Panelization which has been completed and is available in the ICC Store.
In 2023, the OSMEP committee completed development of ICC/MBI 1210-2023, Standard for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing Systems, Energy Efficiency and Water Conservation.
ICC/MBI 1210-2023 addresses mechanical, electrical and plumbing system elements (MEP) used in off-site construction with respect to energy efficiency, water conservation, planning, designing, fabricating, transporting, and assembly within commercial and residential buildings.
In 2021, the OSMC committee completed development of new ICC/MBI 1200-2021, Standard for Off-Site Construction: Planning, Design, Fabrication and Assembly and new ICC/MBI 1205-2021, Standard for Off-Site Construction: Inspection and Regulatory Compliance.
ICC/MBI 1200-2021 addresses the facets of the off-site construction process including: planning; designing; fabricating; transporting; and assembling commercial and residential building elements.
ICC/MBI 1205-2021 addresses the inspection, approval and regulatory compliance of off-site residential and commercial construction components and their assembly and completion at the final building site. This includes: permitting; in-plant and on-site final inspections; third party inspections; the role of Industrialized Building Departments, state modular programs and the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
These standards include componentized, panelized and modularized elements and will not apply to HUD Manufactured Housing.
The Code Council adheres to openness and transparency in our standards development process. All ICC Standards committee meetings are open to the public. Any interested party can participate in committee meetings and can be considered by the committee for membership on any work-group that the committee creates. Interested parties will be notified by email of standards activities related to Off-site and Modular Construction Standards, including committee meetings, sub-group meetings and the availability of standard development documentation. If you wish to be placed on the “interested parties” list for the development of this standard, contact the ICC IS-OSMC, IS-OSMEP and IS-OSMTH Secretariat, Karl Aittaniemi, P.E. at kaittaniemi@iccsafe.org
