“Bridging the gap between General Contracting and the NC Building Codes"
The instructors are either currently or have been Mecklenburg County Building Inspectors. We realize one of the major disconnects in the building industry is the relationship between code officials and contractors. As being contractors for many years, we have learned that the knowledge of the code is power and that knowledge helps us navigate through the permitting and inspection process.
Our 6 hour elective class is titled...
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE NC RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE
We cover the major changes to the code since the new 2018 code came into effect last year. Because we are now on a 6 year code cycle, we cover any new amendments to the code passed by the licensing board. We also discuss new and upcoming code changes. One of our instructors, Jeff Griffin, serves on the State Ad Hoc Committee helping to develop the codes in NC. Because of his background with the codes and his years as a Code Enforcement Manager for a NC county municipality he is able to offer valuable insight to the world of inspections.
