ADOPTING
A NATIONAL BUILDING CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES THEREBY REVISING REPUBLIC ACT NUMBERED
SIXTY-FIVE HUNDRED FORTY ONE
the country’s accelerating economic and
physical development, coupled with
urbanization and population growth, makes imperative the formulation and adoption
of a uniform building code which shall embody up-to-date and modern technical
knowledge on building design, construction, use, occupancy and maintenance;

in the formation of new national building code, it is the desire and policy of the
Government to avail of and harness the technical expertise and professional know-how
of men not only in the public but in the private sectors as well,

powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order and decree the revision
