Building Codes Toolkit Class

Attend a one-day class, endorsed by San Juan County Building Advisory Council, that will help you put the new 2012 IRC building codes into practice in San Juan County.

With the new 2012 IRC Building code passed by the State of Washington comes a new emphasis on building performance. Traditionally, structural integrity was the preoccupation of prior building codes. Durability, Efficiency, Safety, Health, Comfort, & Sustainability are now the criteria requirements.

This one day seminar is designed to familiarize the experienced contractor and carpenter, the Do-It-Yourselfer and others of interest with “the put into practice” demands of the new code. A comparison of the former codes and the new code shall be made with the focus on the reasons for the code changes and HOW to achieve the new requirements.

Coupled with the new 2012 International Residential Code is the revitalized 2012 International Energy Conservation Code. Complying with these two codes simultaneously requires a new skill set and a new way of thinking.

Location of this seminar is at San Juan Island Skagit College campus. Participants will come away with a clearer understanding of WHAT is expected and required and HOW they can adapt their work habits to accommodate the new codes.

Presented by Richard Russell, and endorsed by San Juan County Building Advisory Council this one-day class will be held at the San Juan Center of Skagit Valley College on Sat. Oct. 11 from 9:00am – 4:00pm. Cost: $57.00.

Call the San Juan Center at 378-3220 for more information on registration.
