Talk:Uniform Building Code
Merger with International Building Code
Disagree with the suggestion to merge with International Building Code. This was a different document published by a different organization. Links to IBC are provided. Newell Post (talk) 20:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- I had always thought that the Uniform Building code was a predessescor to the International Building code. Especially considering it ceased with the introduction of the new International buidling code. They are essentially the same documents with additional expansions. I would strongly support merger between these two articles. However I oppose merger into the article 'building code' Ottawa4ever (talk) 10:53, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I do not support merging the two documents, especially not IBC into UBC as the link at IBC seems to indicate (if any merger, it should be the other way around). The UBC article needs more substance, however. GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 20:38, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
I agree that these document should not be merged. They are two separate codes and should be stand alone documents. V767 (talk)16 August 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 21:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC).
- They technically are not two seperate documents UBC was replaced by IBC. They are in fact the same, and as such I do believe a merger is appropriate. If you compare many clauses between both codes youll see that they are the same. Further UBC Is no longer used (or updated) and has been replaced (superceded) by IBC in most american states. With respect, Id like to keep this discussion open just a trifle longer. But will certaintly end it if its clear that everyone opposes this merger of UBC into the IBC article, Ottawa4ever (talk) 21:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Disagree. There were 3 separate codes published by 3 separate organizations that preceded the IBC. (Uniform Building Code, Standard "Southern" Building Code, and BOCA National Building Code.) When those organizations merged, they replaced all 3 model codes with the IBC.Newell Post (talk) 02:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
