Inspector Skills (Online Live)
2025-11-18 09:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago)
This class addresses the necessary soft skills for success as an inspector—those non-technical traits and behaviors that enhance an inspector’s ability to interact with others and to successfully carry out their job duties. These include people skills such as effective communication, diplomacy and customer service, but also include skills for problem solving, professionalism, integrity, and time management. In addition to a solid understanding of the technical provisions of the codes, developing appropriate soft skills are essential in pursuing the goal of safe, healthy and durable buildings for the community. Developed specifically for construction inspectors in all disciplines, the topics covered are equally important to all employees of public service agencies including permit technicians, plan reviewers, managers, building officials and fire code officials. The information is also beneficial for developing policies and procedures to promote consistent and fair inspection practices while improving communications and public relations.

Designing Mass Timber Construction to Mitigate the Potential for Disproportionate Collapse
2025-11-19 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
Since the Ronan Point Apartments incident in 1968, there has been a push to inculcate design and detailing measures into mid and high rise buildings that would mitigate the potential for disproportionate collapse in the wake of an extreme loading event (e.g., explosion). At the present time, UFC 4-023-03 “Design of Buildings to Resist Progressive Collapse“ is used by the Department of Defense, Department of State, and other entities to define design requirements aimed at reducing the potential for disproportionate collapse. Since 2016 (i.e., the year UFC 4-023-03 was last updated), there has been growth in the use of mass timber structural systems in buildings constructed in the United States. As such, an effort was recently completed that updated UFC 4-023-03 specifically for mass timber systems. This presentation describes the updated provisions to UFC 4-023-03. Furthermore, a design example that illustrates the primary strategies that can be utilized to mitigate the potential for disproportionate collapse of mass timber buildings is described in detail. K&C, LERA, and KPFF, who each have experience in designing mass timber structures for progressive collapse resistance, worked closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Protective Design Center to develop these UFC 4-023-03 updates.

IBC Statement of Special Inspections
2025-12-02 11:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago)

This seminar will discuss each component of the SSI, including types of inspections, the extent of these inspections, and the frequency at which they should be provided. The discussion will not only include code prescribed inspections but many of the special inspection requirements that are not defined in referenced standards. Several project examples will be used to show how an appropriate project-specific SSI is developed.

Report Writing for the Code Official (Online Live)
2025-12-04 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Effective writing is vital to your career as an inspector, notices of violation, letters and reports are public documents that may be read by supervisors, attorneys, judges, citizens, design professionals, contractors and reporters. What you write can become the basis for appeal hearings and criminal and civil trials but also could prevent cases from going to court. Your inspection reports and notices of violation will compel a property owner to take action. Your writing skills can help to advance your career. This seminar provides knowledge and skills for effectively writing reports and violation notices for code professionals of all levels. Participants will learn the importance of writing a good report, writing professional sentences and choosing the correct terminology to use. Through examples and practice opportunities, participants will become more skilled at writing and editing their work.

When Disaster Strikes - Evaluator Training (Online Live)
2025-12-11 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
All too often before and after a disaster, an affected community is left on its own to struggle with preparing to respond to the event and then assessing and dealing with its damage. When assessments are not conducted quickly, a community’s residents will reoccupy potentially unsafe structures. Small scale localized events can often be handled by local building departments. However, in a large scale and/or large regional disaster, local building departments are unable to meet the demand and often unable to provide these valuable assessments. The ICC Disaster Response Inspector Program is aimed at training and certifying qualified professionals to assist with performing Post-Disaster Building Safety Evaluations. It also discusses the NIMS credentialing process whereby properly trained and qualified Post-Disaster Building Safety Evaluators can be prequalified and rostered. By properly training and pre-qualifying a pool of individuals building officials are better able to jump start recovery.

2024 IRC Loads – Snow, Wind and Seismic (Online Live)
2025-12-17 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Mid-career residential inspectors and plans examiners will find this seminar insightful as will designers looking for a review of changes to snow, wind and seismic requirements in the 2024 IRC. The IRC has a new snow map that changes snow loads in most areas of the country. Some snow loads go up, others down, some change by 2%, a few by nearly 40%. It is important to understand changes for your local area. Component and cladding loads updated with a simplification of roof areas for steeper pitched gable roofs. For buildings in higher wind areas, where winds are more than 115 mph, nailing patterns for roof sheathing may change as well as nailing for roof cladding. Lastly seismic load application is clarified, and restraint of appliances is expanded.
