Building Construction Types
All construction types must be classified into the following
six types:
1. Frame Construction (ISO Class I, IBC Type V)
2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type
IV)
3. Light Noncombustible (ISO Class 3, IBC Type IIB)
4. Masonry Noncombustible (ISO Class 4, IBC Type IIA)
5. Modified Fire Resistive (ISO Class 5, IBC Type IB)
6. Fire Resistive (ISO Class 6, IBC Type IA)
IBC & ISO

of data, underwriting, risk management and
legal/regulatory services (with special focus on
community fire-protection efforts and Building
Code Effectiveness Evaluation) to propertycasualty insurers and other clients.

How building class is determined
• Classification of a building class is based on
two factors: building elements and fireresistance rating.

Building elements: The building materials used in the
construction of the following elements are the foundation
for classification, be they wood, steel, or masonry.
Structural frame
Exterior bearing walls
Interior bearing walls
Exterior non bearing walls and partitions
Interior non-bearing walls and partitions
Floor construction, including supporting beams and joists
Roof construction, including supporting beams and joists
are comprised of

Fire-resistance rating: This is the other factor in determining construction
class. The building materials used in the construction of the building
elements above will have a fire-resistance rating. Fire-resistance
rating typically means the duration for which a passive fire
protection system can withstand a standard fire resistance test.
This can be quantified simply as a measure of time (ex. 0 hours, 1
hour, or 2 hour), or it may entail a host of other criteria involving other
evidence of functionality or fitness for purpose.
“Minimum” rule: It is important to remember when selecting the
construction class that the building is only as strong as its weakest
element.
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-a-Building%27s-Construction-Type
To determine ISO Class
To determine the ISO class of the building, we must
know the following composition of the building
elements:
Structural frame
Bearing walls (interior and exterior)
Floor construction
Roof construction

International Building Code (IBC) versus
Insurance Services Office (ISO):
International Building Code (IBC): This is a model building code developed by
the International Code Council (ICC). A large portion of the International
Building Code deals with fire prevention. It differs from the related
International Fire Code in that the IBC handles fire prevention in regards to
construction and design and the fire code handles fire prevention in an ongoing
basis. IBC is more descriptive and also includes A or B types of construction
for each class.
A is protected, meaning that all structural members of a building or structure
have an additional fire rated coating or cover by means of sheetrock, spray on,
or other approved method. The additional fire rated coating or cover extends
the fire resistance of the structural members by at least 1 hour.
B is unprotected, meaning that all structural members of a building or structure
have no additional fire rated coating or cover. Exposed members are only fire
resistant according to their natural ability, characteristics, and fire rating.

Insurance Services Office (ISO): This is a
provider of data, underwriting, risk
management and legal/regulatory services
to property-casualty insurers and other
clients.
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-a-Building%27s-Construction-Type
1. Frame Construction (ISO Class I, IBC Type V)
Frame construction is ISO Class 1. ISO Class 1 encompasses IBC Type
VA and IBC Type VB. Regardless of whether the IBC classification is
A (protected) or B (unprotected) the ISO Class is 1.
Building elements:
Frame buildings are buildings with exterior walls, floors, and roofs with
combustible construction — or buildings with exterior walls of
noncombustible or slow-burning construction with combustible floors
and roofs.
Frame buildings generally have roof, floor, and supports of combustible
material, usually wood, and combustible interior walls.
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-a-Building%27s-Construction-Type
1. Frame Construction (ISO Class I, IBC Type V) Continued..
Two variations on frame construction don't change the construction class:
• Masonry veneer (brick veneer)- Masonry veneer is thin layers of brick, stone,
or stucco, used for appearance purposes rather than structural support.
• Metal clad - A building with a metal exterior wall may not look like frame
construction, but when the metal skin is attached to wood studs and joists, ISO
classifies the building as frame.
Other conditions that lead to classification as frame construction include:
• Metal walls or floors sheathed with combustible materials
• Metal floors or roofs with combustible insulation or ceiling material attached
to the underside or within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of horizontal supports
• Composite assemblies of noncombustible materials with combustible materials

2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type IV)
Joisted Masonry construction is ISO Class 2. ISO Class 2
encompasses IBC Type IIIA and IBC Type IIIB.
Regardless of whether the IBC classification is A
(protected) or B (unprotected) the ISO Class is 2.
IBC Type IV is Heavy Timber construction and is considered
ISO Class 2. The reason is that the heavy timbers perform
well and do not fail early in a fire.
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-a-Building%27s-Construction-Type
2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type IV)
Continued..
Building elements: Joisted Masonry buildings are buildings with exterior
walls of masonry or fire-resistive construction rated for not less than
one hour and with combustible floors and roofs. There are several
types of masonry used in the exterior bearing walls of joisted masonry
buildings:
•
brick
•
concrete — either reinforced or non reinforced
•
hollow concrete masonry units
•
tile
•
stone
•
note that exterior bearing walls may also be any noncombustible
materials with fire-resistance ratings of not less than one hour.

2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type IV)
Continued..
Advantages:
harder to ignite
consumed more slowly by fire
more structural stability
greater salvage value
lack of concealed spaces (Heavy Timber)
Disadvantages:
floors and roofs of combustible materials subject to damage by fire
presence of concealed spaces

3. Light Noncombustible (ISO Class 3,
IBC Type IIB)
Classification: Light Noncombustible construction is ISO Class 3. ISO
Class 3 encompasses IBC Type IIB (unprotected).
Building elements: Light Noncombustible buildings are buildings with
exterior walls of light metal or other noncombustible material and with
noncombustible floors and roofs:
buildings with exterior walls, floors, and roofs of noncombustible or
slow-burning materials
building supports of noncombustible or slow-burning materials
noncombustible or slow-burning roof decks on noncombustible or
slow-burning supports — regardless of the type of insulation on the
roof surface
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-a-Building%27s-Construction-Type
3. Light Noncombustible (ISO Class 3, IBC Type IIB) Continued
Advantages:
easy to erect
economical to build
uses materials that don’t readily burn
Disadvantages:
contains steel, which loses strength at high temperatures
highly damageable buildings

4. Masonry Noncombustible (ISO Class 4,
IBC Type IIA)
Classification: Masonry Noncombustible construction is ISO Class 4. ISO
Class 4 encompasses IBC Type Type IIA (protected).
Building elements: Masonry Noncombustible buildings are buildings
with exterior walls of masonry material and with noncombustible or
slow burning floors and roofs.
•
buildings with exterior walls of masonry — not less than four inches
thick, or
•
buildings with exterior walls of fire-resistive construction — with a
rating of not less than one hour, and
•
noncombustible or slow-burning floors and roofs — regardless of
the type of insulation on the roof surface
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-a-Building%27s-Construction-Type
4. Masonry Noncombustible (ISO Class 4, IBC Type IIA) Continued..
Advantages:
•
Uses floors and roof supported by superior exterior bearing
members that provide for stability and are less likely to collapse during
a fire
•
Uses materials that don’t readily burn
Disadvantages:
•
Uses unprotected steel for interior members of floors and roof, and
steel loses strength and becomes less stable and more damageable at
high temperatures
•
Uses slow-burning materials that do burn — adding fuel to a fire

Class 5 encompasses IBC Type IB.
Building elements: Modified Fire Resistive Buildings are buildings where
the exterior bearing walls and load-bearing portions of exterior walls
must be of noncombustible materials or of masonry, but exterior
nonbearing walls and wall panels may be slow-burning, combustible,
or with no fire- resistance rating.
• Buildings with exterior walls, floors, and roofs of masonry materials
described in the definition of fire resistive (Construction Class 6) —
less thick than required for fire-resistive structures but not less than
four inches thick, or
