HPMA presents a new Code Compliance Network program to partner design professionals and publishers with consumers who purchase pre-designed house plans. This new Network is ultimately for the benefit of the consumer who may need the assistance of a professional in their local area.
The Network will help ensure that their plan of choice may be revised/updated to meet local code and permit requirements.

The Network will be linked through the HPMA home page.
