Define high-level scope #2

Closed Engineer1119 closed 5 years ago

Engineer1119 commented 6 years ago

Answer the questions "what high-level topics will be covered by MBC?" and "what high-level topics will not be covered by MBC?"

The deliverable for this task is a single document that:

  1. at least explicitly answers the questions above, and
  2. ideally offers some guidelines to resolving any future questions raised about the scope of MBC.

Duplicating this quote from Issue #9 : Here's a great quote from the 1927 Uniform Building Code (Oxford commas and emphasis added): "The Uniform Building Code is dedicated to the development of better building construction and greater safety to the public, through the elimination of needless red tape, favoritism and local politics by uniformity in building laws; to the granting of full justice to all building materials on the fair basis of the true merits of each material; and to the development of a sound economic basis for the future growth of cities through unbiased and equitable dealing with structural design and fire hazards."
