The Basics of a Plan Review Submittal, presented by Chris Reeves, PE, and ICC Manager of Plan Review Services, originally aired July 24.

The webinar also discussed the necessary documentation required in order to conduct a thorough review.
California Code Adoption for Local Jurisdictions, presented by Stuart Tom, PE, and Chief Building Official for the city of Glendale, Calif., originally aired July 17. This webinar was a cumulative effort sponsored by the California Building Officials, California Building Standards Commission, the City of Glendale, California and ICC. With an introduction by Jim McGowan, Executive Director for the California Building Standards Commission, this webinar addressed the local adoption process in California. With the new codes being adopted and published for California, jurisdictions have until January 2014 to complete local amendment ordinances and file them with California Building Standards Commission. This presentation provided important information that will help code officials navigate the laws and regulations pertaining to this process. It included sample documents for a staff report, justification, and adoption ordinance.
Both Webinars are available for on-demand viewing on the ICC Campus. Visit www.icccampus.org to view these complimentary webinars and choose from a myriad of other webinars and courses based on various codes and topics.
