Members of the SPFA Building Envelope Committee just completed a significant update of an existing TechDoc, SPFA-141 Spray Polyurethane Foam in Cathedralized Ceilings and Unvented (Conditioned) Attics.  This document addresses the application of SPF below sloped roof decks when insulating cathedralized ceilings and creating unvented attics.   The new document can be downloaded from the SPFA website here.  SPFA would like to acknowledge the help from the following volunteer members of the SPFA-141 task group:  Mac Sheldon of Sheldon Consulting, Roger Morrison of Deer Ridge Consulting, Henri Fennell of HC Fennell Consulting, Jim Andersen of JA Consulting and Steve Loftis of NCFI.

The SPFA PCP is pleased to report that the digital version of Exam Prep Study Guides are now included in the price of the written exam.  The QAP Committee, which oversees the policies of the PCP, voted recently to make this improvement to the program.  These ‘books’ are much more than Study Guides. They are great resources which are full of useful reference material. The printed version of the Study Guides will continue to be sold at the SPFA convention to help defray printing costs

If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Marcavage, Certification Director at kmarcavage@sprayfoam.org.

Placing a bid is a slippery slope; bid too high and you price yourself out of reach, bid too low and leave yourself vulnerable in the event of a mishap which all too often leads to cutting corners, delays and having to go back to the client asking for more money. While word of mouth is such an effective tool in residential work, accuracy is as critical to longevity as the profits that sustain your business.

 

After adding more than 50,000 jobs in January alone, the construction industry shows no signs of slowing down. As more people join the workforce, our commitment to worker safety is even more important. Although falls from heights decreased from 2016 to 2017 according to BLS data, falls are still the leading cause of death in the construction industry – they can and should be prevented.
