2007 California
Building Code Update Seminars
December 5, 6 & 7, 2007
9:00 to 4:00 (check-in @ 8:15)

The Redwood Empire Chapter of The American Institute of Architects in partnership with the North Coast Builders Exchange is sponsoring three, one day seminars presented by the International Code Council. This will assist our members in making the transition to the new California Building Code that will begin being enforced on January 1, 2008. The classes are intended for those with at least an intermediate level of knowledge, skills and experience in understanding the building codes.

2007 CBC Transition from the 1997 UBC - Wednesday December 5
2007 CBC Transition from the 1997 UBC - Thursday December 6
(both days are the same seminar)

This seminar focuses on helping users that are familiar with the 1997 UBC adapting to the 2007 CBC. The information in this course details the differences between the two codes and covers concepts that are not in the 1997 UBC. Also, some of the codes in the UBC and CBC are the same, but located in different sections. This seminar covers this information as well. In an effort to further aid users, an explanation as to why the codes differ is provided.

2007 CBC Residential Provisions - Friday December 7

This course has been developed in response to a decision by the State of California not to adopt the 2006 International Residential Code (IRC). This class is designed to provide an overview of 2006 IBC requirements for residential occupancies as well as California amendments intended to better align the 2007 CBC with certain concepts in the IRC.. The seminar discusses basic code concepts, proper use of code tables and proper construction of dwelling units.
