Class Description: Building Official Skills
This class will cover some of the code administrators’ responsibilities as a Building Official, plans examiner, inspector and other support staff. Legal aspects as found in the administration of the codes will be the base of the discussion but will expand on other productive means to achieve the outcomes that are intended. We will cover the professional and unlawful misconduct as found in Utah State law. We will ask why and by answering this we can then derive how to do this within our program and environment.
