Samir Mokashi, Principal at Code Unlimited, will be teaching a two hour code seminar, "Significant Changes to the 2018 IBC Code". This seminar will identify the key differences between the 2015 IBC and the 2018 IBC codes, with a focus on regulations common to most building types and those that commonly misunderstood or misapplied. This is often due to lack of knowledge, subtle changes in the code language, or lack of clarity in the code language. No matter how it happens, the results can be devastating to the project and to the bottom line of the firm. This course will explain what changed, why it changed, how to apply these correctly in your future projects, and what is the significance of the change. In addition to explaining the technical background he will also talk about strategy in dealing with the local jurisdiction.

Learning Objectives:

Get an overview of key code regulations that are common to many buildings and are commonly misunderstood or misapplied
Understand what changes took place for key code regulations between the 2015 IBC and the 2018 IBC
Understand the intent behind these changes and their significance when designing buildings
