Abstract	This Code for Dwelling Construction for buildings housing one or two families is issued by the Associate Committee on the National Building Code of the National Research Council as an advisory document for the use of municipalities and other organizations which need such a Code for the control of their building operations. This document being advisory only, must be adopted by a municipality in some appropriate manner before it can have any legal authority for local use. This document is essentially an abridgment of the National Building Code itself, as issued in 1941. In the work of abridgment some editorial changes have been made and obvious errors corrected but no technical changes have been made. A few new sections have been added where no appropriate section exists in the National Building Code itself but these do not provide any inconsistencies between the two documents. The National Building Code itself is now under revision. It is hoped that a completely revised version will be available during 1952. At that time this Code for Dwelling Construction will then be revised to be in keeping with the revised National Code. Thereafter the two documents will always be kept consistent.
