How do architects approach designing for different building codes and regulations?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience in architectural design or regulatory implementation. However, architects typically approach designing for different building codes and regulations by deeply researching the codes, laws, and regulations of the specific area in which they will be designing. This includes meeting with local government officials and building code enforcement personnel to gain a complete understanding of the requirements and restrictions of permits, zoning laws, and building code regulations. Architects work with their clients to ensure that their designs meet these regulations and often coordinate with engineers and construction professionals to ensure the design can be built according to code-specific standards. Additionally, architects may attend continuing education courses or professional development events to keep up-to-date with changes in building codes and regulatory landscapes.
