Section objectives
The objectives of the NFPA Architects, Engineers, and Building Officials Section are to:
- Encourage a greater understanding of the many aspects of safety to life and property from fire, structural collapse, and natural perils, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, among architects and engineers responsible for designing buildings and building officials who administer and enforce legal regulations applying thereto.
- Create opportunities in an environment where mutual understanding and cooperation among architects, engineers, and building officials may be developed and enhanced.
