Remodeling Field Practice: Existing Conditions, Structure, Permits & the Occupied Home
The second remodeling course, for lead carpenters, project managers, and owners who run the work: the paid investigation phase and exploratory openings before pricing; bearing walls, beams, load paths, and when an engineer is required; kitchens and baths as interlocking systems of rough-in, ventilation, and waterproofing; alteration permits, inspections, and the code upgrades a permit triggers; lead, asbestos, the EPA RRP rule, and dust containment in an occupied home; and the design-build contract, allowances, change orders, and scheduling trades in tight occupied spaces.
