Welcome to Our Executive Webinar
The Florida Building Code Changes
Effective December 31, 2026 | Is Your Project Ready?
The 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code takes effect December 31, 2026, bringing changes that may affect projects across design, permitting, construction, inspections, costs, and schedules.
Pacifica Engineering Services is hosting this Executive Webinar to help building professionals understand what is changing and what project teams should be considering now as Florida prepares for the transition.
Our goal is to turn the upcoming code changes into practical guidance that can be applied early, helping teams reduce surprises, minimize rework, and improve coordination throughout the project lifecycle.

Whether your project is currently in design, approaching permitting, or preparing for construction, this webinar will help your team better understand the upcoming changes and prepare for December 31.

Topics will include:
- Permit timing and the transition to the new code
- Commercial and residential energy requirements
- Building envelope requirements and testing
- Coastal construction and corrosion protection
- Mechanical, ventilation, and refrigerant changes
- Flood and existing building considerations
