Contents: FirstSource, a product of Reed Construction Data, provides building professionals free access to a comprehensive, current library of commercial building product information. The site’s exclusive national codes resource provides visitors with detailed information on building codes for all 50 states, major cities, and some counties. The site has information on codes and amendments as well as contact information for up to 17 "authorities having jurisdiction" (AHJs) in each market. This site is marketed to building professionals, but legal researchers may find it useful as a finding aid. The code library is helpful in determining which model or uniform code forms the basis of a particular jurisdiction’s building codes, but the full-text of the model or uniform code referenced is not available on the site. Visitors must register with First Source to access the library.
