Join us for the Fundamentals of Building Trades - Fireproofing, Firestopping and Building Thermal Insulation on February 22nd!

The Fundamentals of Building Trades - Fireproofing, Firestopping and Building Thermal course is the first in a four part series of the AGC Houston Fundamentals of Building Trades program. This in person program led by John Ryder of Marek Brothers Systems, Inc., is designed to provide a general overview of fire safety and building code requirements in commercial buildings.

Course Objectives:
One of the more difficult scopes to interpret from plans and specifications is the fireproofing. An even more difficult task is to ensure that the proper scope is bought out so that changes with cost impact are minimized, allowing for the work to proceed in accordance with the project schedule. The intent of this course is to assist the attendees in gaining a better understanding of the current building code requirements and present practical knowledge that will help get this scope of work done properly on time and in budget.

Target Audience:
Ideal candidates for this course include staff new to the construction industry; or management, supervisory, or estimating staff seeking additional knowledge of life and building safety in the commercial construction building sector.
