Permitting and Code in Savannah
Commercial construction in Savannah is governed by the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes (based on the International Building Code), enforced through the City of Savannah and Chatham County. Its historic district and low-lying coastal setting make preservation and flood resilience central to commercial work here.
- Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes — state-adopted IBC with local plan review, permitting, and inspections;
- Coastal, flood, and high-wind — FEMA flood zones, elevation, and hurricane wind design govern low-lying and coastal sites;
- Stormwater and site work — Georgia EPD and local stormwater and erosion-control requirements;
- Historic District and Board of Review approvals in the landmark district
We design and build to these from day one so a Savannah project clears review and performs for the long term.
