Description:

The first portion of this class will cover construction contracts. You will learn the important terms you need to be aware of in your contract in order to minimize the occurrence and magnitude of problems that inevitably arise with customers or other contractors. You will learn how to write an improved contract that contains the required legal notices, limits your exposure to claims and liabilities, provides an economical resolution of a dispute, establishes a practical method of handling change orders, gives the customer a limited warranty, and precludes your customer from firing you and hiring somebody else to fix or complete your work. All the good things you need in your standard contract. This seminar also explains the significant terms of the standard commercial subcontract and how these terms can present unwanted risks to the subcontractor. You will learn that these terms should be negotiated rather than blindly accepted. The contracts seminar comes complete with a 238-page course book in a durable 3-ring binder that is current, accurate and explanatory. View the complete table of contents for this book at www.linvillelawfirm.com. The second portion of this class covers construction liens. You will learn how to prepare, record and foreclose a lien on either a commercial or residential project. This seminar will also cover how to prepare, file and foreclose your lien against a payment bond or a retainage on any federal, state, county, or city public works project. Both liens and public works claims generally require a preliminary notice. The lien portion of the seminar comes complete with a 343-page course book in a durable 3-ring binder that is totally current, accurate and explanatory. All necessary forms are included.

Class Description: In this two-day online certified training program, you will learn how to control costs, prevent erosion, protect water quality and comply with permit requirements. Participants completing this class will receive certification as a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) good for three years. Why do you need a CESCL? If your project disturbs over an acre of land, is in a subdivision, or poses a risk of stormwater runoff entering a waterway, you will need a Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Department of Ecology. This permit states that all projects disturbing one acre or more of land must have a CESCL. The CESCL is trained to inspect, install and manage stormwater controls on your site. Ecology requires a CESCL to be on-call at all times, so most companies will need more than one employee trained as a CESCL. Instructor: Department of Ecology Certified Instructor, Alex Zimmerman, Creative Courses LLC Note: You will receive the online class meeting info and a book link the day before the start of class. It will be sent to the email used during registration. To receive your CESCL card and credit for the class, you must sign in for the entire scheduled class time and complete the test at the end.

Description:

Note: This course is the second in a series of three required to obtain a CAPS certification. There are certificates for each CAPS class, but attendees must complete all three in the series for the CAPS designation. Nearly 17% of Washington—or more than 1.3 million people—are 65+. And 90% of them want to stay in their homes as long as possible. Many responsive and innovative products are emerging to help homeowners make their homes safe and comfortable living environments for the long term. Likewise, service providers are answering this demand by focusing their businesses on creating new homes and renovations that provide design flexibility, pleasing aesthetics, high function and usability for all people regardless of age, income or ability level and regardless of life’s changes and challenges. This course aims to enable participants to identify common challenges within the home and understand attractive design concepts that create a safe and comfortable environment for clients who want to age in place. Aging-in-place (AIP) clients can be identified as individuals who are not experiencing health issues related to aging, individuals with a progressive or other condition that requires home modifications or equipment, and individuals who are dealing with an abrupt or traumatic health-related change.
