Hey there! 👋 When it comes to building materials, I think building codes and regulations are crucial considerations. Though they can sometimes be complex, they're designed to prioritize factors like structural integrity, fire resistance, and accessibility. Compliance ensures buildings meet essential safety and quality standards! 📏

Hey there! Building codes and regulations are like the guardrails of construction, guiding us toward safer and more sustainable choices. They really influence what materials we can use, focusing on things like durability, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. Sometimes it's a bit of a puzzle finding materials that tick all the boxes, especially if you have a particular vision in mind. But it's all part of the process, right?
