Improve residential inspection methods and skills
One of the most important duties of building safety and
fire prevention professionals is performing residential
inspections. Whether inspecting new or existing one- and
two-family dwellings or examining modifications to plumbing,
mechanical or electrical systems, inspectors, code officials
and industry representatives need to be aware of the most
current residential code requirements and inspection processes.
Learn all of this and more at the International Code Council
Residential Inspection Institute.
The Residential Inspection Institute, to be held Feb.
14-18, 2005, in Austin, Texas, offers a step-by-step process
for performing effective and efficient residential building,
mechanical, plumbing and electrical inspections. The institute
is cosponsored by the Texas Residential Construction Commission.
Participants will learn the inspection steps vital to
confirming that a residence complies with the 2003 International
Residential Code (IRC). This five-day institute is ideal
for residential building, mechanical, plumbing and electrical
inspectors, code officials, industry representatives, third-party
home inspectors and those preparing to take an ICC residential
inspection exam.
In addition to education offered by highly recognized
building safety and fire prevention professionals, the Residential
Inspection Institute allows attendees to interact, network,
gain valuable insight and share experiences with their peers.
Participants also can earn ICC continuing education units
(CEUs), AIA learning units (LUs) and health, safety and
welfare credit (HSW). All attendees receive comprehensive
manuals to reference during the event and to use as a resource
back on the job.
The International Code Council, a membership association
dedicated to building safety and fire prevention, develops
the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings,
including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties
and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes
developed by the International Code Council.
