MISSION

To promote appropriate regulations for building and construction design practices, methodologies, and standards.

VISION

Considering an acceptable balance between human safety, functionality, and economy, TCD strives to improve construction laws and the built environment by working in collaboration with industry professionals, design professionals, jurisdictional representatives, citizens, and governing code development authorities in an open and consensus based manner. Our decisions are informed by using the most current substantive information available to propose new and innovative concepts, correct errors in the technical codes, and recommend deletion or changing provisions that have been found to be ineffective. We do this to sustain the functional and efficient use of the built environment for the benefit of building occupants and consumers.
