I found this expression in this bilingual reference...

I think the above would be more commonly used in the UK at least. I would imagine the "code" example is fine in the US. Architects always talk about "building regs" in the UK, which is a reference to the standards laid down by the profession. These are of course legally binding. I just consulted with a lawyer who confirmed that the term "code" is not used in the law, in the UK in any case.

Housing and building code is correct and doesn't sound made up, because you will find it occuring quite frequently:

Code of Consumption or Consumer code

Canada, the country where I was not born but where I live now, has a wealth, an incredible wealth of bilingual sites. Every major government or private site is bilingual, since we are an officially bilingual country. All Parliamentary documents are published daily in the two languages.
Yes, I know that Québec French may bear the same relationship to UK English as US English, but all the same these sites are very useful in a variety of aspects. Canada, keep in mind, is also a "bijuridical" country and many legal problems have to be solved in translating the two systems into each other.
Canada's problem is that we are virtually invisible to the rest of the world. The other day somebody posted a job on Proz.com mentioning countries were English is spoken and Canada was not one of them. Canada is a translator's heaven:translators are valued, and translation is taken very seriously.
Hope you will pardon my fervent plea.

I entered "code de la construction...AND Canada" and even found a Canadian Centre for Codes, besides at least 10 Google pages of sites, many of which, I am sure, are bilingual.

I think it is osmetimes important not to get too hung up on legalese or at the very least to understand it doesn't always carry the same connotations in different contexts. In countries with a common law (anglosaxon tradition) legislative acts are more decentralized. In the US. the states and even down to the municipalities enact and administrate their own building and housing codes. The federal government has nothing to do with it except possibly for the federal buildings that exist in these areas and if the state code is more stringent the federal government is obliged to meet it. If you do a search using building and housing codes you get a plethora of responses and you will see many of them relate to particular state or municipal jurisdictions. This is a specifically US context that I am speaking of but it is probably applicable to a certain degree to other countries having the common law tradition.
