Answer 1

First, go to your local building and zoning departments. The building department and your state will have adopted various building codes. These are usually based on the Uniform Building Code and/or the International Building Code and/or National Fire Prevention Code(?). These codes all have various editions, so they can vary with your particular jurisdiction.
