Need help with your glass project?
Landmark's project estimators review site plans, verify local building codes, and deliver accurate project specifications for commercial builds. We assist general contractors on glass projects throughout Southern California.
This library summarizes California Building Code (CBC / Title 24) topics as of the 2025 triennial edition (effective January 1, 2026) and is an educational starting point, not a code determination. Local jurisdictions layer their own amendments on top of the state code. To read the actual code text, visit the California Building Standards Commission or a licensed digital code viewer such as UpCodes. Always confirm requirements with your local building department or a licensed architect/engineer before finalizing a design.
