Adhering to building codes is critical because it ensures a minimum level of safety and quality in construction, protecting public health and welfare by setting standards for building design and construction that safeguard people from hazards like fire, structural failure, and other potential dangers within a building. These codes aim to create safe and habitable structures across different regions and jurisdictions; essentially, they provide a baseline for building safety by addressing aspects like egress, structural integrity, and fire safety.
