About the Bureau of Construction Codes
The dedicated staff of the Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC) work as a team to assure that the built environment and the systems within are sound, safe and sanitary; building users' health, safety and welfare are protected; and that, through a coordinated program of code compliance, investigation and training, there is consistent application of standards.
LARA received over 16,000 survey responses from licensees across three of our highest volume bureaus: Professional Licensing, Construction Codes, and Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing. Our Cutting Red Tape Report outlines nearly 80 recommendations to reduce barriers to licensure, streamline processes, and better serve the people of Michigan.
