If there is a building code. The constructon plans adhering to that code would have to be approved before construction begins. Also each phase of the construction process would have to be checked and approved by a building code officer so that what was done conforms to the drawings. So IF this was the process .. as the buildings stand.. they were built to French SXM code. And any modifications to the buildings would have to be to the building code and signed off by a code inspector.

SXM??? Wendell
