The International Code Council (ICC) is a non-profit organization which compiles and publishes model building codes adopted and enforced by governments to ensure public safety. Although the organization is based in Washington D.C., it maintains an Eastern Regional Office at 900 Montclair Road in Birmingham. Dominic Sims, who works from the Birmingham office, is the ICC's Chief Executive Officer.
The organization was formed in 1994 by combination of three regional model code groups: The Building Officials Code Administrators International (BOCA), The International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and the Birmingham-based Southern Building Code Congress International. SBCCI president Myron Sasser helped lead those efforts.
After the 1994 consolidation, the ICC's "legacy organization" collaborated on the development of the first "International Building Code", which was published in 1997 and has been widely adopted in the United States and its territories. The merger of the regional code groups into the ICC was completed in 2003.
