Regional Design Criteria for Factory-Built Structures: Implementation Underway
We are hard at work implementing Senate Bill 25-002, which creates regional design criteria for factory-built structures, including workforce housing, classrooms, and tiny homes. The goal is make it easier to build, from a single set of plans, structures that can fit in multiple jurisdictions. This is expected to reduce duplication and expand access to safe, affordable buildings – including housing – statewide.
The Technical Advisory Committee, made up of local building officials and industry experts, meets twice per month to help streamline rules and boost consistency and resiliency across Colorado’s varied climates and communities. The public is welcome to join committee meetings. Subscribe to DOLA’s Building Codes and Standards newsletter (linked at right) for updates twice per month.
