May is Building Safety Month, an international campaign led by the International Code Council to raise awareness about the importance of safe, sustainable, accessible, and resilient buildings.
This year’s theme, Built to Last, highlights the role building safety plays in supporting stronger communities, from safe homes and disaster preparedness to accessibility, code compliance, and long-term resilience.
Building Safety Starts Before Construction
At DCCM, building safety begins long before construction is complete. It is shaped through thoughtful planning, sound design, strong coordination, careful review, and responsive inspection and construction support.
DCCM offers comprehensive building department solutions that support communities with a wide range of needs, from staff augmentation and contract plan review to third-party plan review and inspection services. Our team includes registered engineers, architects, building officials, Certified Access Specialists, and other credentialed professionals who help clients navigate evolving regulations and maintain high standards of safety and professionalism.
Supporting Safe, Accessible, and Resilient Communities
Building safety is not limited to one phase of a project. It requires coordination across design, permitting, code compliance, accessibility, inspection, and long-term maintenance.
DCCM’s building safety services include fire and building code consultation, code enforcement, permit processing and tracking, floodplain administration, Wildland Urban Interface review, accessibility plan review, ADA self-evaluation and transition plans, certified compliance audits, and barrier removal strategies.
Through this work, our teams help public agencies, communities, and project owners address safety requirements, improve accessibility, support compliance, and reduce risk while keeping projects moving forward.
Recognizing the Professionals Behind Safer Places
Building Safety Month is also an opportunity to recognize the many professionals whose work helps protect the built environment. Designers, engineers, architects, inspectors, code officials, contractors, accessibility specialists, and project teams all play an important role in creating places where people can live, work, learn, and gather safely.
This month, we recognize the building safety professionals and project teams whose expertise helps create safer places and stronger communities.
