SCAFFOLDING; FORMS; SHUTTERING; BUILDING IMPLEMENTS OR AIDS, OR THEIR USE; HANDLING BUILDING MATERIALS ON THE SITE; REPAIRING, BREAKING-UP OR OTHER WORK ON EXISTING BUILDINGS

Introduced: September 1968

Description

E04G encompasses temporary and permanent structural support systems, molds, and equipment used in construction and building maintenance. This subclass covers scaffolding structures, formwork systems (shuttering), bracing, and shoring devices essential for erecting, modifying, or demolishing buildings and structures. It also includes handling equipment and mechanical aids for transporting building materials on-site, as well as tools and techniques for repair, renovation, and demolition of existing buildings. Related specialized building techniques (such as pile-driving or dredging) are classified elsewhere.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 14 subcodes exist in both systems.

10 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
