As we head into 2013, I’d just like to take a moment to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. 

The International Codes, or I-Codes, have served as models for almost all state and local codes in the United States since 1994. 

I can’t believe another new year is sneaking up on us.

Roofing Contractor’s eighth annual Best of Success Conference was held at the Omni Interlocken resort in Denver Sept. 24-25. 

 International Codes can be confusing. The 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) includes new standards for almost every component in the building envelope, and these standards are further increased in the new International Green Construction Code (IgCC), which serves as an overlay code.  

Cal Shreiner, First Vice President and Head of Capital Construction Management North America for Prologis, drew on his 36 years of experience in all phases of construction management to give roofing contractors insight into the mindset of commercial building owners.

Recycling has many benefits for the planet. 

It’s become a tradition at Best of Success for the sitting president of the National Roofing Contractors Association to update attendees on the priorities of the NRCA and key issues to watch in the industry.

“There is one thing I can promise you: Every owner in this room will exit his business — voluntarily or involuntarily,” said Kevin Kennedy.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) seems to be everywhere these days, at that includes Best of Success.
