Benefits

Building codes place responsibility for designing a building project in accordance with the appropriate adopted codes and standards in the location of the project while building officials are charged with reviewing the plans and specifications for compliance. Many design professionals do not understand how much information to include in their project specifications as it relates to code compliance nor the limits placed on them by their professional liability insurers. This teleconference helps design professionals understand their responsibilities regarding code compliance and how to incorporate these requirements into their project specifications. The teleconference also explains the impact of green building requirements on building codes and how those requirements are incorporated into project specifications.
