Class Description

This seminar will focus on the conventional construction requirements for detached accessory structures (i.e., garages, sheds, etc.), residential decks, carports, and patio structures to ensure compliance with the Code.

The intent of this class is to help building officials and plans examiners to know how to quickly perform a review of these projects at the counter to see if they are in compliance with the Code and will also help building inspectors to know what to look for in the field.

Oregon-specific information will be incorporated into the presentation.

Class begins promptly at 8:30 am and ends by 4:00 pm and offers six hours of continuing education units/credit. A hot breakfast and lunch, all-day coffee and refreshments will be provided to registered attendees.

Learning Objectives

  • Provide an overview of conventional construction requirements for structures
  • Review design requirements for decks and carports
  • Discuss common framing errors and code violations for these types of projects
