The Alaska Residential Building Standards Council Inc. (ARBSC) is a non-profit group that was initiated by the Alaska State Home Building Association to govern and promote safe housing standards throughout Alaska. The ARBSC consists of a member board made up of Home Builders, Design Professionals, Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical Contractors, Building Inspectors and a representative of a governmental agency.
The ARBSC is a volunteer board working with the Building Industry to provide a standard set of minimum specifications that can be used throughout the state to improve home construction and public safety.
The ARBSC began operations in mid 2007 by utilizing current ICC certified combination dwelling inspectors within the state who have additional training approved by the ARBSC. At this time, the ARBSC is currently operating under the 2003 International Residential Code for One and Two Family Dwellings published by the International Code Council.
