The National Building Code of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (NBCRMI) establishes minimum requirements for building systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building designs. The NBCRMI 2021 edition is based on the 2018 International Building Code and excerpts from other ICC International Codes (I-Codes) with amendments specific to the RMI incorporated in them.
