Just make it up as you go? Please don’t… 

By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director

Posted on November 20, 2023

One of the things I have learned during my public safety career is that there are certain people that either can’t — or don’t want to — admit that they don’t know or understand something. Instead of searching out the truth, they often just make it up as they go. That's fine if you are playing a game with a group of friends. However, if you are enforcing codes and standards, such a make-it-up-as-you-go approach is ill-advised. Having a clear understanding of what you are requiring as a code official is paramount to applying and enforcing the requirements.
