Special Inspection: Firestop and Its Liability (Repeat Session)

Firestop Special inspection is a requirement on projects. If you have wondered which projects, how you are supposed to evaluate the inspector or the reports they submit, this class will clear up these questions and help reduce your liability. The course will highlight the relevant code sections: IBC 2015 1705.17, ASTM E2174, and ASTM E2393. Architects will understand how IBC 1705.17 changes your role, when firestop special inspection is required, how to keep design specifications from being hacked during construction and how to evaluate a special inspection report for conformance with standards.  In short, the presentations will enhance participants understanding, bring these topics to life in a way that makes it easier to remember, and provide actionable steps for architects to protect projects.
