WELCOME NEW Members!

Hi, I'm new to coding. My name is Glen and I'm 50 yrs old. I have been interested in how computers work from the inside out software/hardware. I'm open to learn from anyone on this forum. You can teach a old dog new tricks is my belief. I look forward to meeting new people and learning and teaching once I get some knowledge under my belt. Thanks again for your help.
 
I have been recently introduced and am a newbie to the forum. I’m working part time as an Assistant Building Official/Inspector with a large town and looking forward to participating. Glad to have a site with open discussion.

Which edition of IBC are you on

Is it statewide code or do you adopt it locally
 
Just got here, let me tell you how...
I am a city marshal in a type A general law city in Texas. I have been doing the work of the code enforcement officer as well. Today I was called in and I am now the bldg/code official because the water clerk no longer wishes to issue building permits and we have adopted the 2018 ICC. Our city is currently at just over 3000 but we just opened 5 new subdivisions this month and our property sales along the I35 corridor are booming. What kind of a hornets nest have I stepped into?

Welcome from DFW area

Are you a one horse office, or are there inspectors under you?

How many sq miles is the city?

Any building, electrical, plumbing code knowledge?
 
Ok ... here goes ...

Registered architect for around 10 years, through the experience route (no college). ICC certified "building plans examiner".

Currently performing self-certification reviews for City of Phoenix and a few other municipalities. Self-cert work is so huge right now I don't have time for architectural work in the office.

I'm from Vancouver. Back in my university years, I started to study architecture but when switched the major to design. And thank God I did, cause now I feel like I'm doing exactly what I want and what I love!

For today that's gonna be all for the "inquiring minds" ;)

Thanks. Will think about it. Was on here a few years ago or more - when brudgers was still a thing.
 
Hello everyone! Found this forum in an effort to answer some of the more tricky scenarios encountered on the job. Thanks for all the help thus far. I will likely be bugging everybody with more questions in the near future as they come up. Happy to offer what limited knowledge I have to help others answer their questions.

Thanks for having me!
