2010 ADA Standards: Key Features and Elements

Instructor:  Roger Peck

The ADA is one of America’s most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life, to enjoy employment opportunities, to purchase goods and services, and to participate in State and local government programs and services. The 2010 Standards set minimum requirements, both scoping and technical, for newly designed and constructed, or altered State and local government facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.

This video course covers the fourth through tenth chapters of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.   The material for this course is presented by simple narration and power point video presentation, including on-site, real world video examples in various accessible buildings used by both the public and private sector.

After completing this course participants will be able to:

• Be able recognize what exterior and interior components can and should comply with ADA standards.
• Outline at least one design strategy based on ADA standards for the construction of either a public or private building.
• Identify requirements for proper maneuvering space, clearance and accessible routes.
• Summarize the options available to the design or building professional when designing a facility per the requirements of the ADA Standards.

This course covers:

• Accessible Routes
• General Site & Building Elements
• Plumbing Elements and Facilities
• Communication Elements and Features
• Special Rooms, Spaces and Elements
• Built-In Elements
• Recreational Facilities

Lead Paint Awareness

Instructor: Scott Corbat

Traditional renovation work can create significant dust-lead hazards if lead-based paint is disturbed. Contaminated dust generated by traditional renovation work can cause lead poisoning in children, pregnant women, healthy adults, and even pets. Practical changes in work practices can minimize and contain dust. The use of lead-safe work practices makes the job safer and reduces liability exposure. This course will teach you how to perform or supervise lead-safe work practices safely and effectively. This course is not a qualifier for RRP Certification. You must complete an EPA accredited course for Certified Renovator Status.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the dangers inherent in lead paint, including the risks and difficulties involved in renovation projects that involve older structures.
• Summarize the EPA and HUD rules required of Certified Firms and Certified Renovators.
• Determine if lead-based paint affects your work, and how to educate owners and residents in target housing, or owners and adult representatives in child-occupied facilities about how the work will affect lead in their property, and how to plan the work so that it is lead safe.
• Outline the process of proper set up so that dust and debris created by the work do not contaminate the property and leave behind lead contaminated dust.
• Describe how to effectively clean up dust generated by the work performed in the home or child- occupied facility; how Certified Renovators conduct a cleaning verification; and how to dispose of renovation waste.

This course covers:

• Lead Paint Concerns
• Regulation
• Before Beginning Work
• Containing Dust
• During the Work
• Cleaning and Checking Your Work
• Recordkeeping
• Training

Building on Budget by Design

Instructor:  Jeff Rice

The benefit and importance of pursuing an efficient design and budget allows for the creation of comparable design per a client’s initial request, but ultimately accomplishing it with considerably less complexity, building materials, construction labor, and finally cost, achieving an efficient design resulting in greater value for the homeowner. Functionality, aesthetics, and methods of code compliance are each guided by financial investment and return.

This presentation will illustrate the basis for the Building on Budget by Design program, as well as numerous examples for the approach of integrating and understanding general incremental pricing at various points in the design development process for further design inspiration and guidance for a desired construction budget.

After completing this course participants will be able to:

• Be able to integrate design concepts with current codes and regulations.
• Translate the intentions and goals of the customer into a safe and cost-effective project.
• Understand the process of securing the appropriate information that will help to develop a scope, schedule, and budget.
• Be able to develop a building program that provides for less complexity and better price understanding through design adjustments.
• Outline at least one design strategy based on site standards, code compliance, requested design and budget.
• Utilize current materials and goods to ensure proper construction practices, all with an eye for budgetary constraints.

This Course Covers:

• Industry Standards
• Compromise vs. Solutions
• Reducing Liability
• Over Design & Alternative Designs
• Understanding Client Needs
• Roof Complexity Averted
• Redistribution of Capital
• Value Engineering
• Two-Story Post and Beam vs. Pre-Engineering Trusses
• New Log Home or Renovation?
• Remodel with Plan Adjustments in HVAC
• Square Foot Reductions using Modular Dimensions
• Roof Framing and Practical Design Solutions
• Site Analysis and Re-Design
• Complexity Reduction for Greater Value
