Ahhh
Didn't know we had one? Me neither! But we do and its VERY comprehensive and VERY detailed. Now you don't HAVE to read the whole thing cover to cover, but if you REALLY want to be up to speed on what's right and what's wrong with the construction of your building, this is a good starting point. Mind you some things only a draftsman/architect/contracter would REALLY understand, but its good to have nontheless.
Since the Haiti earthquake and now (as of writing) the Chile Earthquake, and taking into consideration storms like Ivan in Grenada, we HAVE to build according to code. So knowledge of what is required is important.
I'm not going to go into details, suffice to say that the code IS online so do bookmark it. ALSO you can BUY a hard copy from the Bureau of Standards in Macoya (see google maps here) After you come off teh highway you turn into the street opposite Fireone Fireworks and then turn left. Its at the end of the street with a sign. The price of the book is $300. Not a huge investment on your part to be up to speed.
You know what they say in the OPDM ads: Better to be safe. . .
