Organization Information: The Building Safety Professionals of Southwest Idaho (BSPSI) is one of six regional groups that in conjunction make up Idaho Association of Building Officials (IDABO), an official chapter of the International Code Council. IDABO was first recognized as an official chapter of the International Conference of Building Officials in 1958.
IDABO remains true to its primary goals of safety and welfare of the general public in the built environment. We include proper adoption of building safety and related construction codes among our goals, and to that end, we facilitate the education of building safety professionals, contractors, design professionals and the general public. We are part of a cooperative effort to help make our communities safer and better places to live.
Mission Statement: Here at BSPSI we are proud to offer up to three scholarships ranging from $500 to $1000 to the winners of our yearly building safety scholarship. This scholarship is an effort to give back to students who have chosen to pursue a career in one of the many building safety professions represented by BSPSI. Careers represented by BSPSI include: Building Officials, Inspectors, Plan Reviewers, Construction Managers, Architects, Engineers, and many more.
