Introduction
UW Extension announces a noncredit professional training program for builders and contractors. Earthquake Home Retrofit Training provides a consistent, approved approach to the seismic retrofit of older, wood-frame, single-family homes.
The course is a six-hour non-credit (6 CEU) program developed in collaboration with Seattle Emergency Management and the UW Department of Construction Management. While a number of builders and contractors offer retrofit services in the Seattle area, potential clients cannot easily assess the capability of these professionals. Completion of this course provides the means to establish this capability. This course also enables builders and contractors to enhance their skills and expand their business into new areas. Participants receive extensive materials as part of the course. The names of licensed contractors who complete this course are made available to homeowners.
Instructors are: Andy Higgins, City of Sammamish; Mike Showalter, Construction Dispute Resolution; Kaveh Aminian, Department of Planning & Development, City of Seattle; Tony Holder, Department of Planning & Development, City of Seattle
