Optimizing Performance from Start to Finish
At BECS, we prioritize building code and accessibility from the outset of every project. Before diving into detailed design, we conduct thorough analyses to make sure our designs adhere to local, state, and federal regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Why Code Compliance Matters
- Safety First: Adherence to building, fire, and life safety codes safeguards occupants and minimizes risks.
- Legal Protection: Compliance with building and accessibility laws shields clients from costly legal disputes and penalties.
- Cost Efficiency: Our in-depth code knowledge often identifies opportunities to leverage exceptions, reducing project costs and complexity.
- Streamlined Approvals: Detailed code analysis and permit-ready drawings expedite the building permit process, saving time and resources.

By integrating code compliance into the early stages of design, we create a solid foundation for a successful project that meets the highest standards while optimizing resources.
Our Code Analysis Approach
BECS Design Studio employs a rigorous code analysis process to make certain our projects meet or exceed local, state, and federal regulations.
Thorough Code Review:
We conduct in-depth examinations of applicable building codes and regulations, including jurisdiction-specific amendments, to fully understand project requirements.
Proactive Engagement:
Our team seeks early consultation with local authorities to clarify code interpretations and gain approval for project-specific approaches. We also collaborate with industry experts and product manufacturers to guarantee compliance.
Clear and Detailed Documentation:
To expedite the permit review process, our drawings include comprehensive project summaries and detailed code analyses. We provide specific code references where necessary to support our design decisions.
