Impact of the National Building Code 2024

The 2024 National Building Code came into operation on 1st March, 2025, one year after it was published as Legal Notice No. 27. The 2024 Code is a pivotal shift, replacing the outdated regulatory framework, the archaic 1968 Local Government (Adoptive By-Laws) (Building) Order. The new Code is a testimony to the desire to be progressive, innovative, and to address the shortfalls of the 1968 Code.
The 2024 Code incorporates advanced construction practices, modern materials, cutting-edge technologies, quality control, and rigorous testing capabilities that were absent in its predecessor.
Some of the notable reforms are designed to achieve objectives such as multi-hazard resilience designs, promotion of energy efficiency, achieving universal accessibility, risk management, and quality control. The Code will result in stricter regulations and sustainability for developers and all stakeholders.
