Explanation
Colorado's WUI building codes (adopted by many counties and municipalities) require new construction in fire-prone areas to use fire-resistant materials (Class A roofing, ignition-resistant cladding), enclosed vents, ember-resistant construction, non-combustible decking materials, and maintenance of defensible space. These requirements significantly affect construction costs in mountain and foothills communities.
