involving construction as authorized
under Title 38, U.S.C., section 2101 (a),
section 2101 (b), and the Temporary

This form is also completed by builders
who propose to construct homes to be

material requirements, as specified by
the International Residential Code and
residential building codes adopted by
local building authorities, and are in
substantial conformity with VA
Minimum Property requirements.
An agency may not conduct or
