THINKING ABOUT BUILDING? SAVE BIG MONEY BY ACTING BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR!

Effective January 1, 2009, the IRC Bulders Code will require SPRINKLER SYSTEMS to be installed in all homes built to code in the United States. This regulation will be the law and all Centre County Builders will be required to follow this law as of the new year.

You need to act today to save thousands of dollars on the building of your new home. Simply have your building permit issued prior to December 31, 2008 and there will be no need to pay the additional costs of the sprinkler systems. If you fail to act you will have an increased price on your new home which may impact the financing or amenities of the home you choose to build.

Update as of 10/02/2008 - The NAHM will be filing an action to prevent the new code from adding the sprinkler systems. They expect to lose in the long run but the NAHB thinks it will take two to three years before the ordinance is enacted after they file the petition to prevent the sprinkler systems.

There will be more to come on this issue.
