Yes it is very important to know what is needed to install a bathtub and also the electric.
ABSOLUTELY! When doing any home repair a knowledge of Building Codes is essential to completing the job properly and safely. Without them you could very easily create a hazard that one may not think is essential. Perfect example would be someone eliminating wall sconces… a lot of DIY’s (Do It Yourself) will wire-nut the wires, in some cases tape them, together and stuff them into the wall, this creates a fire hazard. Another would be when replacing the tub one will remove the old can style trap and plumb the drain without a new “P” style trap. This can/will allow toxic gases to come up through the drain… Building Codes are an essential and a necessity to all building/remodeling practices!!
Bathroom remodelers need knowledge of building, electrical, and plumbing codes. Most bath remodels don’t require knowledge of structural matters, but the codes cover a wide variety of safety and health issues that arise in bath remodels - code-compliant sizes of rooms, placement of plumbing and electrical fixtures, water-resistance of floor and wall coverings, and so on.
From a legal standpoint, many states and provinces require remodelers to be licensed, which usually requires knowledge and adherence to the codes.
Unquestionably, not only do they require knowledge, they need to pull the permits and schedule the proper inspections. Codes insure comfort by making sure the space is properly planned and insures safety by enforcing electrical and plumbing standards. Some will say a pull and replace bathroom remodel does not require permits, it does!
With out a doubt! the codes that are in place are there for reasons. They are the simple guidelines needed so the homeowner can feel comfortable. Also keeps the contractor from cutting corners.
Yes Yes Yes!!! First of all for bathroom remodeling you have to pull permits, second how you can pass an inspection if you don’t know any codes regulations.
One more time
- Yes the knowledge of building codes is necessary to remodel a bathroom and not only bathroom, to remodel in general.
Thanks, Good Luck with your project!
