Code Officials & Boman Kemp
Verify IRC Compliance | Streamline Inspections | Ensure Fire Safety
Working with Code Officials
When code officials, plan reviewers, and building inspectors evaluate Boman Kemp basement window systems, verifying egress compliance and structural safety is fast, transparent, and hassle-free. Meeting International Residential Code (IRC) Section 310 requirements for emergency escape and rescue openings demands strict adherence to net clear openings, minimum dimensions, sill heights, well projections, and ladder clearances. Boman Kemp systems are engineered and pre-tested to satisfy these exact standards right out of the box.
By standardizing on complete, engineered window well systems—combining pour-in-place bucks, double-insulated escape windows, load-tested safety grates, protective covers, and escape ladders—Boman Kemp removes ambiguity from plan reviews and job site inspections. Code officials can quickly confirm compliant emergency exit routes for occupants and safe entry points for first responders, accelerating permit approvals and final sign-offs with total confidence.
