Workshops
Two full-day post conference certification training workshops are planned for Thursday, May 17th. The courses will take place at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory, One Gifford Pinchot Dr., Madison, WI.
- BMRA Accreditation in Building Deconstruction
The first of its kind, the Building Materials Reuse Association has established a national deconstruction accreditation program that will give you the skills you need to develop, manage, monitor and document safe and efficient deconstruction and building materials salvage projects. This one-day course will teach you how to assess a building for deconstruction or salvage, estimating and contracting a project, organizing and managing a project, safety and environmental awareness, best practices and tools, and documenting a project for clients, funding agencies, and LEED credits. Even if you have deconstructed before, you will learn something new from the BMRA deconstruction experts who teach this course. Course fee ($205) includes: course workbook, a free copy of the new book on building deconstruction, Unbuilding: Salvaging Architectural Treasures from Unwanted Houses by Bob Falk & Brad Guy, BMRA certificate of completion, and catered lunch. Sign up soon as enrollment is limited.
