| 21 Aug 2021 | All About Deck Code with Glenn Mathewson // Episode 144 | 01:40:12 | |
We had the Deck Code Expert, Glenn Mathewson, from the Building Code College to discuss the topic of Building codes but specifically in regards to decks. The contractor generally views code as deterrent placed on them from doing their jobs. Glenn see's code in a much different light. Code is the cookbook for which Gourmet and life changing designs can come out of. The Code is a freeing tool that shows us the guidelines on known ways of doing things at this current point in time. There is also a great opportunity for the contractor to influence the new and upcoming codes with their expertise and knowledge of current building methods. This can be done by signing up for an account at www.cdpaccess.com This podcast was super interesting and definitely changed the way that I look at Building Codes!
