ANNOUNCEMENT
Organization
Information: BSPSI
is one of five regional groups that in conjunction
make up Idaho Association of Building Officials
(IDABO), an official chapter of the International
Code Council. IDABO was first recognized
as an official chapter of the International
Conference of Building Officials in 1958.
In our first fifty years of existence we’ve
undergone several name changes and seen the
merger of three national model code organizations
into the current International Code Council.
In
celebrating our fiftieth year, IDABO remains
true to its primary goals of safety and welfare
of the general public in the built environment.
We include proper adoption of building safety
and related construction codes among our goals,
and to that end, we facilitate the education
of building safety professionals, contractors,
design professionals and the general public.
We are part of a cooperative effort to help
make our communities safer and better places
to live.
Mission
Statement: Here at BSPSI we are
proud to offer a $300 (1st Place) and a $200.00

Week and give back to students who have chosen
