The committee’s vigilance ensures our industry’s

recent success includes the formal inclusion of the 
post-frame foundation design standard in Section 
1807.3 of the 2024 IBC.
The committee Is currently working on several white 
papers which helped define the state-of-the-art for 
each topic including firewall continuity and the use 
of CCA treated wood in residential and commercial 
post-frame buildings.
 Building the Future: The NFBA Foundation
The newly established NFBA Foundation (a 501(c)
(3) organization) is instrumental in this progress. By 
providing dedicated funding for research, education, 
and the maintenance of industry standards, the 
Foundation ensures the long-term viability of post-
