Be sure to include the following in your case study:

• Examine the applicable building codes for this structure.
  • How were they developed?
    • Were they developed locally?
    • Were they modified or adopted?
    • If modified, how so?
• Analyze the tests conducted on materials found in the structure.
  • What types of materials were used in the construction of the house?
  • What were the results?
  • What were the lessons learned?

Your case study response should be two to four pages in length and follow APA guidelines.
