Cook County Local Energy Project is excited to host this workshop on best construction practices and codes for residential construction. Rum River will be presenting the 2023 Building Blocks - Code Talk. Topics Include Shallow Frost Protected Foundations, Building Planning, Helical Piles & Foundations, Roofing, Siding, Lead Based Paint Rules, and Code Administration. Rum River works to provide excellent training opportunities to ensure construction methods meet standards for a safe, durable, and energy-efficient building. Presentation materials are backed by the adopted Minnesota State Building Code. Anyone who works with residential construction is encouraged to attend. We also strongly encourage any homeowner who is thinking about building a home to attend this workshop to learn more about the home-building process and codes. This course is also open to all builder professionals and interested persons who do not need continuing education credits. Residential builders (QB), remodelers (QC), and roofers (QR) need to have completed 14 hours of appropriate continuing education credits by the time they start to renew their license. Since licenses are renewed every two years, you have two years to complete the courses. Many residential building contractor and remodeler business licenses expire on March 31, 2023.
