Are there specific restrictions on the types of materials contractors can use in projects?

The requirement that materials must comply with safety standards and codes is essential for ensuring the safety, durability, and legality of construction projects. Building codes and safety regulations are put in place to protect the health and safety of the public, and they specify minimum standards for various aspects of construction, including materials used. These standards ensure that materials are suitable for their intended use and can withstand environmental conditions.

Using materials that meet these standards ensures that constructions are safely built and that they will perform as expected over time. Non-compliance can lead to serious consequences, including legal liabilities, costly repairs, and unsafe living conditions. As such, contractors must always verify that the materials they plan to use adhere to the relevant codes and safety regulations, which may include considerations such as fire resistance, structural integrity, and environmental impact.
