The Florida Building Code (FBC) is the go-to guide for builders and others involved in the building trade when it comes to ensuring that minimum standards are met in a variety of areas critical to constructing safe, quality structures. Various parts of the FBC address everything from putting in an acceptable floor to appropriate plumbing, windows, and parking spaces.

In this 1-hour interactive online course, we will be discussing the requirements of the Florida Building Code 2007, Building, Section 11-4.1 through 11-4.7, which addresses Part I of Accessible Elements and Spaces. Because the Accessible Elements and Spaces section is large and complex, we have broken it into three courses to make it more easily digestible.
