[Cob] concerning building codes

[Mike Swink]

concerning building codes no doubt I have just over looked in my links.


 Does anyone know if cob homes are mentioned in the
International Residental Code: For One and Two family dwellings.?????? This book cost about 50usd. Note become a licensed building code inspector.
Not as exspensive I had thought at first. Online courses from ICC and Local state boards will confirm who they accept licenses and trainging from.

 The inspectors belive if it is not in the code books it is assumed not a viable building etc. 

 Has anyone read the book called "Cob and the Building Code" by John Fordice   ???????

 Not sure if it tells us how to obtain permits.

 Would love to see actual page showing codes that approve of cob homes from England or other countries. This might help us also.
