Your Instructors: Burnham Nationwide & The Code Group
Since 1992, Burnham Nationwide has been a trusted leader in permit expediting and building code consulting. Our team of experienced permit expediters and code consultants has guided thousands of projects – from new skyscrapers to historic renovations – through the complex maze of permits and regulations. We operate in over 3,000 cities across the United States and have secured well over 100,000 building permits nationwide, streamlining the planning, submission, and approval process for clients ranging from major corporations to leading developers. Burnham Nationwide is committed to “simply getting it done,” delivering a special experience for every client and every project through professionalism, dedication, and deep expertise in building code compliance.
The Code Group
The Code Group, a subsidiary of Burnham Nationwide, is our specialized team of code experts and licensed architects focused on building code compliance and consulting. Established in 2001 as Burnham’s dedicated code consulting division, The Code Group has been instrumental in helping develop and interpret codes nationwide. Its members serve on national and municipal code committees, bringing a wealth of knowledge in building, accessibility, electrical, mechanical, and fire safety codes. The Code Group not only consults on complex projects but also shares its expertise through continuing education – leading workshops, seminars, and accredited courses to keep the industry informed and compliant.


The Importance of Continuing Education
In the fast-evolving world of architecture, engineering, and construction, continuing education is vital for professionals to stay current and competitive. Architects, builders, engineers, and code compliance professionals must keep pace with changing building codes, safety standards, and best practices. Regular training and education ensure that you maintain required licenses and certifications while deepening your understanding of building code compliance and emerging industry trends. By investing in continuing education, professionals not only fulfill mandatory credit requirements (such as AIA continuing education for architects) but also gain practical knowledge to deliver safer, code-compliant projects. Burnham Nationwide is proud to support this ongoing development by offering accredited courses that help our peers grow their expertise and uphold the highest standards in the built environment.
