The 10th Edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR) will go into effect October 11, 2024. The Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) previously approved a concurrency period that ends on January 1, 2025, where projects can elect to file permits under either the 9th or 10th Editions. However, the BBRS intends to discuss extending this concurrency period at their October 8, 2024 meeting due to the delay in adoption. The promulgated version of the 10th Edition amendments will be posted on the BBRS website and published by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Draft amendments can be found here.
